Trolley colors The wiki entry reads Cars throughout the Boston rapid transit network were formerly painted orange or with orange stripes by MBTA predecessors and restored streetcars on the Ashmont Mattapan High Speed Line wear their historical orange livery but this is largely coincidental I m debating whether this needs to be in the entry since the Mattapan trolleys connect to the RED line not the Orange line and the trolleys reflect the orange color that was used on all of the early 20th century trolleys throughout the entire system The entry does say this is largely coincidental but it actually has nothing to do with the orange of the Orange line In fact the trolleys are more of a burnt orange color and not the pure orange of the Orange line cars I m interested in what other people think
