I watched a PBS documentary awhile back about the Boston subway system that was quite fascinating (I'm kind of a geek when it comes to historical documentaries). The city was an absolute, congested mess back then with horse buggies (and horse shit) everywhere. They also talked about how London was still running actual trains underground at that time so the tunnels and passenger cars were constantly filled with coal smoke and soot, so for Boston to go electric at that time was also a huge deal. It's cool to hear the city is still ahead of the game in regard to transit.
