Fan Trips & Transit Milestones

The Boston Street Railway Association is well-known for its ability to run a wide variety of "fan trips." They are always fun, informative, very popular and, sometimes for unintended reasons, very memorable!

To date, the Association has successfully operated 109 fan trips, which have ranged from a tour of the Fitchburg & Leominster Street Railway Company to a complicated multi-modal system tour using a Dual-Mode Articulated Bus! Our fan trips often provide their attendees an opportunity to ride on seldom-used portions of track, enter restricted areas not open to the general public, and in many cases unexpected "bonuses" occur en-route that lead to more excitement and add to the historic experience.
