I love riding the subway. Boston rules!
I lived in Boston Area in 1987 - 88, moved south ( job ), and brought new wife to Boston every year since 1992. Even the rides on the T bring back memories. Really enjoy and appreciate your vids. thank you Dog
I take this train to school and home everyday thank you
You are welcome
I've ridden the "T" all my life and witnessed the changes over the years, which I think for the worse. When I was a kid we used to ride the old PCC trolleys all the way down to Forrest Hills and took them out to Newton and Watertown once.
Just before the EL was came down, my dad took me on a ride from what was then Washington Street to Forrest Hills and then all the way back to Sullivan where we then took the EL back to North Station because we had to catch a train home. On the EL trip, the motorman let me stand up in the cab with him and I got to see the line all the way. I was about 7 or 8 at the time. Little did I know at the time, that all this was going to come to an end due to "improvements". Sadly, as bad as NIMBYs and yuppies thought the EL was noisy and old, it served a purpose, and many people used the service. Today these neighborhoods get stinky buses and multiple ride changes instead of a single ride into downtown.
The Green line got nailed too when the Heath Street branch was terminated due to a "cost cutting move" in the 1980s then only to be ripped up because of the anti-trolley and pro-bus management and NIMBY opposition to restore the line to Forrest Hills. Watertown too lost its service, then the tracks were ripped up because the NIMBYs thought the trolleys were 'noisy' and the T bus-friendly management did not want to restore that service.
I'm glad I got to enjoy the core and some of the branches while they were in service. Sadly I was too young to have ridden the Tremont Street line.
Interesting! Thank you for sharing! And thanks for watching!
You're welcome and thank you for sharing these videos. :-)
TBH the tunnels sped up service, as they don't need worry about those ridiculously tight curves and the street below. I am with you on the stinky buses though, nothing beats the train.My town has no public transport to speak of, yet most of the bordering towns do (I'M LOOKING AT YOU LYNN!)
I agree the tunnels do speed up service, but sadly they moved the service away from the people that used it the most and out to the outer fringes where the service gets the most political exposure. There was an interesting show on Channel 2 about this a few years ago.
We're lucky where I am up in Haverhill. We have the lovely MVRTA buses, Amtrak, and T commuter rail. The MVRTA buses have a lot to be desired though, but the service is there. The city once had an extensive trolley system and there are still signs of it all over including bits of old ROW along Rt. 110 east towards Merrimac and Amesbury. Even in Merrimac, proper, there's what's now their fire station, which used to be the trolley barn.
Zack Boone I think you're the getting the silver line soon, and what about the commuter rail
that 🚉 is fast
I rarely ride fast Green Line trains.
Lol, I know the guy that was pictured at the very beginning. Name is Vladimir K.
I used to take the Green Line all the time and once saw a body being dragged along the platform. Ugh!
Uhhhh, what do you mean by "ugh"? That's seriously disturbing.
What the fuck?! That is indeed disturbing!😣😣😣😣😣😣😣
