Yes Fred, as I said the Boston system had a higher voltage in the range of 650 volts and the car we chased was a Boston so called ALL-ELECTRIC PCC by Pullman that was identical to the Cleveland cars.(one was sent there from Boston for them to test out.) The weight of these cars was more than the early cars and it was running downhill from Arlington Hts so built up quite a speed not normal in any place else on that system. It is said that the Cambridge Police stopped one for speeding back to the carhouse at Harvard Sq. one night and gave the operator a speeding ticket !!!cheers   rogertrolley
