Charles Swift reminds us that the Mattapan trolley line shuts down June 24, allegedly for a year's worth of repairs (I write "allegedly" because, well, the T has a history of making "temporary" trolley-line shutdowns permanent). So? Here's your chance to ride renovated 1940's trolleys on a pleasant 10-minute ride along the Neponset from Ashmont through Milton - think of it as a bit of living history.
