Stuart Spina will trace the history of transportation in Dorchester from the Dunmore Brothers and their stagecoach to Boston in the 1830s, to the contentious horsecar rivalries of the 1860s, to the arrival of rapid transit in the late 1920s and more; from its days as an idyllic country town to streetcar suburb and up to the modern era. Rare scenes of the many modes that have served what is now Boston’s largest neighborhood will be presented along with a whirlwind tour of current operations. From steam railroad, both mainline and street, to the latest in hybrid bus technology: this will be an adventure across the ages, from Savin Hill to Milton Lower Mills to Mattapan Square!
