Re photo no. 6. The only place where I remember seing wire mesh fencing separating the track from the road was near Northeastern University main campus. That would put it down the other end of Beacon Street as opposed to Cleveland Circle. But then, I'm stumped by the sight of the track leading to the right. Both because I wouldn't know where it goes and also by the fact that there appears to be only one track. I don't see a second track and I don't see a second wire. Admittedly I never used those trams. Just occasionally drove in those areas and a couple of times rode the lines when the D train was diverted to Reservoir over the C line while the D track was being relaid between Reservoir and Boston downtown.
Cheers,
Ron Stux (who last rode a W in Savannah, GA about a year ago).

I am guessing that photo 5 was a second one at Heath, and that 6 is
somewhere in the Cleveland Circle complexity, but I can't deduce where. It
does show a Boeing-Vertol.
