line including $ 3.7 million for maintaining the PCC cars. The plan also allocated $ 5 million for "PCC Car Replacement-Alternative Service" which was to be used for future funding should an alternate form of transportation be decided upon. In 2017, MBTA began a $ 7.9 million project to overhaul the trolleys and update the propulsion systems, but further problems such as fluctuations in power damaged the four operating trains in early 2018. On February 5, 2018, it was reported that eight more trolleys were going to re-enter service in 2019, the fixes will prolong the lifespan of the trains by another 7 to 8 years. After several delays, the first rebuilt trolley entered service in March 2022.

Around 1920, BERy reached an agreement with the New Haven and the Boston Transit Commission to pursue the Dorchester Circuit Plan. Under that plan, a bidirectional rapid transit loop would run south from Andrew along the Old Colony main line, take over the Shawmut Branch and Milton branch to Mattapan, cut over to the Midland Division on a tunnel, and return to Andrew via the Midland Division right-of-way and another tunnel segment. 1460: 1731: 1398: 1376: 1334: 1308: 1286: 1272: 1188: 377: 344: 337: 1411: 1357: 1347: 1321: 1259: 1211: 1201: 1105:. Restoration work began at 6:00 am on March 21 as the waters receded; service was resumed by 4:30 pm. In January 1981, the MBTA proposed to close the Mattapan Line at all times beginning that March due to severe budget issues. The closure was cancelled, though the Mattapan line and the Ashmont branch were closed from June 20, 1981, to January 16, 1982, for track replacement and tunnel repairs. 794: 723: 473: 683: 652: 570: 539: 497: 433: 393: 813: 787: 295: 849: 842: 820: 747: 660: 610: 547: 2585: 1506: 1564:
The MBTA also announced in 2018 that it was studying alternatives again to running trolleys. Alternatives that were being considered were further repairs of the existing PCC cars, procurement of new replicas of historic cars, and turning the line into a busway.

Steam trains were discontinued in 1927 and the line was closed for two years while it was modified for streetcars.

On several occasions, the MBTA has proposed to replace the PCC streetcars either with newer trolleys or with buses, and has met with substantial community opposition on each occasion. The FY2017-FY2021 Capital Investment Plan, approved by the MassDOT board in June 2016, allocated $ 9 million to the

The line's longest shutdown took place from June 24, 2006, to December 22, 2007, with shuttle buses replacing streetcar service. A new elevated loop was built at Ashmont – part of a major reconstruction of the station – and the aging canopy at Mattapan was replaced. The intermediate stations were
