   While we're at it, does anyone know where the Green Line "A" branch
   went?  (We now have B/C/D/E branches.)  If there was an "A"
   branch, when was it discontinued?

I figured out several years ago that the A branch used to go to
Watertown square via Washington Street in Brighton. There are still
tracks in the street there. It branched off the B line on Comm Ave. near
the BU bridge. I don't know when it was discontinued, and the only
reason why I figured this much out is because I was watching the
destination signs scroll by when one of the cars reached its turnaround
point. Now they have buses that run that route.
