Riding MBTA Red Line from Alewife to Braintree Station
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2018
- Today, we're inside a Braintree-bound MBTA Red Line train. Enjoy the views inside the train as well as some nice overground scenery. Of note, the operator makes several kind-hearted announcements as we near downtown Boston. Also, near the end of the video, a passenger freshly enlightened by these kind messages looks right at me and decides to shove into me for filming. Oh well!
Filmed with Sony HDR CX-440 and Zoom H1 on 6/5/2018
I love the high pitched noise they make when their throttle is increased.
The electronic traction control equipment is one of the top reasons I follow passenger transit. I find it very fascinating!
this is a wonderful way to greet those on a train. way to go on the conductor / announcer. enjoyed the video as well. the train is sure busy looking in start of it. 👍🏻
It was definitely busy for sure! Glad you enjoyed!
I use the MBTA red line very frequently, it’s always nicer when it’s not as packed 😊 Thanks for the video!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video!
A year ago I rode MBTA subway for the first time. I was on the red line going to my Airbnb and the train had those sudden stops in the tunnel about two-three times.
Thanks for sharing! It's a shame the MBTA has as many problems as they do. I enjoy riding around the Boston area and I hope they're able to recover properly!
Miss these days back home living in Boston. If they ever had this in Houston I'd park my car in a heartbeat. But the solution in that part of the country is to add more roads and alas...more traffic. If Atlanta and Dallas can make it work it amazes me Houston drags their feet.
I'm sure it'll happen eventually. We can only expand upward so far before we have no other options. It's a shame though that's what it'll take to make Texans give up driving

Yeah we can certainly use it in Houston. Have it run out to all the suburbs I think people would use it. The T in Boston has the commuter rail with park and ride, much like the bus in Houston. That runs out to the far suburbs and the Red, Blue, Green and Orange lines cover pretty much most of the city limits primarily, though parts run to the outer edges. They way Houston is built I've always thought that it would be perfect for rail. I live in the far north suburbs. I'd take the rail in a heartbeat here.
Looks sparkling clean compared to New York's MTA
It was definitely cleaner, but Boston isn't nearly as busy as NYC. The MTA could definitely do better, but they're up against some harsh circumstances
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
The Red Line from Alewife to Braintree is the longest of all of the T rides with 18 stops

You rode the train who’s the nicest driver you could ever meet
True, most of the time they just sound like fhdsiaogjajdhsaugpjdsajknodsiaojo
When my uncle used to live in Belmont and later Harvard Square in Downtown Cambridge we used to take all 4 of the MBTA Subways Red, Green, Blue, and Orange lines. Plus we also used to go on the MBTA buses and Commuter Rail too.

Taking the Red Line everyday must be painful. That crowding..
It was an early weekday morning, probably as bad as it gets. But still! You're right!
Can’t remember the last time the trains waited that long for people to get on
That's strange! Maybe they've changed a lot since I visited last. Hopefully it's only so they can keep the trains behind them moving through.

That's common at each end of the line. It's a scheduling issue. Used to drive me nuts at alewife
What took 18 minutes back in 2018 (JFK to Quincy Adams) now takes 50 minutes in 2023 because of the absolute incompetence of the T 😡. I miss when taking the T was actually palatable.
I haven't been to Boston since these issues all came to a head... I can't imagine having to deal with those changes when that's what you rely on. Hopefully they have it sorted soon!
Just curious how do you know what train is which? I see the signs but it shows both ashmont/braintree
MBTA my home train that I always take
I'm Serious

Have a Great rest of your day!

Hi Charlie! Glad you enjoyed the video! If by "newer", you're referring to the late-90s stock Bombardier trains, I only managed to get a few short clips of it, but not a full ride. It'll be uploaded here in a couple days. I would have gotten a full ride back to Alewife, but I was limited on time so I transferred to the others to get a little bit of everything.
memories....
Is this the 1700 series fleet? I hope next year if I come to Boston between July-October next year that Some of the 1500-1600 series will be in service since the 1900 series are on the way soon on the red line?
Why did you go on 1st carriage? :/ You could go on middle trains instead of being stuck each other people. xD
I figured it wouldn't be that busy... This was a last minute trip so I didn't have much time to do research
@@NTxRE Ok. :P
Where does the name Alewife come from? Along with the Braintree station it didn’t exist when I was a kid riding the Red Line.
According to Wikipedia... "Alewife station is named after nearby Alewife Brook Parkway and Alewife Brook, themselves named after the alewife fish." I learn something new every day!
I wish you could ride the new one
Are they still in service? I definitely will next time I visit!
Hey I want to know if I can put some of your videos in my playlist
Sure! You're welcome to include my videos in your playlist.
@@NTxRE ok thank you

Dour Yankees are loathe to smile before noon and not until their 4 th mug of coffee has been consumed. The train operator tried to cheer them up, but
alas....
Guy on the right side at 14:24 stuck his middle finger out behind his at the camera. Lol smh
Hah! I remember that! Little does he know that just makes it better and makes him stand out more. Bring it on!
