Description: Motorman James Reed (right) and conductor George Truffant pose with their car at the Allston Carhouse on September 1, 1897. Several hours before, they had been the first revenue car through the Tremont Street Subway, running from Pearl Street (Cambridge) via Allston. The car entered the Boylston Street portal around 6:00 am carrying over 100 riders. This also marks the beginning of subway traffic in the United States.
