Publications

The Boston Street Railway Association has a long and notable history of producing high-quality transit history publications. Along with our bi-monthly news magazine, RollSign, the BSRA regularly issues “Bulletins”, or books. Since 1961, we have published books on a variety of topics, from the PCC Cars of Boston to the Trackless Trolleys of Rhode Island, and everything in between. (And don’t forget—Regular & Intermediate Members in good standing get a copy FREE at time of publication!).

We are currently working on the next installment of the “Streetcar Lines of the Hub” series. You can view and purchase our recent titles below.
