MTA Type5 5799 Outbound at Northeastern
Metropolitan Transit Authority Type 5 trolley 5799 outbound to the Heath Street Loop around 1950. Passengers are getting off on Huntington Avenue across from Northeastern University. 5799 went into service in 1923 and was scrapped in 1954. Paul A Dever became governor of Massachusetts in 1948 and won reelection in 1950. The political add on the car looks like it's from his running for his second term. So that dates this in 1950. - from a negative in my collection, photographer unknown
