I remember as a lil kid going over the railroad tracks at Milford Mill Rd before the thay built the metro station I believe the road ran straight through
Back in those MTA was cheaper to ride on them. 1987 I was little boy. I was only six years old at that time. My first time riding the metro subway in 1995. The lights rail wasn't there at that year. Complete in 1992..
One of the recording spots -- Interstate 795 near McDonogh Road, it's funny to see the land surrounding it clear and new but fast-forward 31 years later today, it's nothings but forest and rust
I can't fully swear to it, but I believe that it is very likely to be Charles Center. At the time this was the inbound terminus, and our goal on the day we recorded the video was to ride the entire line. Another good piece of evidence is how the trains at the underground station are using only one platform, and the departing train goes up one track, but the arriving train crosses over before pulling into the station. This crossing over is consistent with a station that was operating as the end of the line, which Charles Center was in 1987. We probably shot that angle looking up into the tunnel specifically to document this operation. I was a 17 year-old kid when my dad and I shot this video, and 33 years later my memory is not 100% definite, but through deduction rather than actual memory I think I feel pretty safe saying yes, it was Charles Center. One exception, though - It looks to me like the overhead shot looking down on the train was done at Lexington Market, based on the decorative tiles on the overhead beams (pure guesswork looking at present-day pictures of that station) but I would say that the shots made on the platform level of the underground station were done at Charles Center.
@@JackBoorseArchive ok. Yes I suspected it was Charles Center. Do you remember if trains switched tracks at the past the end of the platform? Or were there crossovers where the line would now continue to JH Center?
@@elirosen1391 I don't remember. But looking at the video, it seems to me that the switch was on the end of the station that is closer to Lexington Market. You can see that there are passengers on the train that is arriving; it crosses the switch and then comes into the station full. I'd think if the crossovers were on the JH Center end of the station, which at that time would be past the area of passenger service, you would never see a loaded train coming from that direction.
@@YourAverage_Railfan I've done the same in both as well. Just to avoid a couple of classes when I was in high school. Ate some burger King in there too. 🤣🤣🤣

Never knew trains had automatic operation back in that time.
That's the same train we have here in miami.

Is the underground station you were at Charles Center? I see station signs but they're too blurry to read.

Can you do the same thing, but with this year?
