Lines running today:

B- Boston College via Commonwealth Avenue
C. Cleveland Circle via Beacon Street
D- Riverside via Highland Branch
E-Heath Street Via Huntington Avenue (track beyond Heath St. paved over to Arborway)
M - Mattapan-Ashmont via "High Speed Trolley Line"

Street running to Mattapan ended in 1955 when buses took over. That ended a track connection to the main system. After that, cars were trucked back and forth to the shops (indeed even today) Tracks to the Everett shops were abandoned ca. 1963.
A - Watertown (track abandoned and paved over)
Hope this brings you up to date.
