Truly amazing photo.  How did they ever manage to record 1204 on Brookline 
in September 1966 when car was scrapped in Sept.-Oct 1961?  But seriously, 
Jim, does Smith's book have a better date or can we assume website meant 
date 39 abandoned?  Not important

Map doesn't show back line connection to Overbrook.  I walked it one Sunday 
in early 60s, and aerial photos seem to indicate that it may still exist.  
Hmmm.  Have never seen any comments concerning possible LRT extension to 
Brookline from Overbrook line?  Is this a forgotten right-of-way and 
therefore an overlooked potential LRT extension?  Just agitating a bit to 
generate opinion of others to this thought.
