I love riding the D-Riverside line because out at the Rte 128 ring, the area gets so woodsy. Then going inbound you can almost tell how many miles you have left to go until you get to the subway portion by the amount of cement you see increase along the way. Villages become towns, and towns converge into large suburbs. As trees change from woods down to scattered clusters, and finally down to shade trees on side streets, it is nonverbal poetry via streetcar.
I am in the track department and I spent my first 10 years on the Green Line, always liked working on the D line. Lots of wild life at night, fox, deer, coyotes, skunks. No third rail to deal with which is always nice.
This takes me back to my childhood, I lived in Boston from ‘73 to ‘83, went to school out in Newton, you could take the D to get to my elementary school near Waban Station, and is a very scenic route, man I miss Boston, the spring, early summer, and Fall is absolutely gorgeous there
If a Boston citizen goes to New York City they will say Wow this sounds like our green line If a New York Citizen goes to Boston They will say Wow this sounds like the 7 train
If Boston & New York Citizens go to Atlanta they'll say MARTA sounds like their Green Line and 7 Trains If Atlanta Citizens go to New York and Boston they'll say the 7 Train and Green Line sound like their MARTA Trains
Sergei, thank you so much for coming back to the States (although I loved the dog in the pond and the new Moscow Line 7) and doing this. I went to school in Cambridge and so Boston and the T are very familiar to me. Much better lighting now than when I was student a hundred years ago. Thank you again, joseph.
I was very little when that line opened, but I can still remember the first time I saw Brookline Village - it looked so modern compared with all of the antique stations on the rest of the system.

Excellent video in presentation and quality. Is this 4k or 1080,? I rode this line for three days between Riverside & Kenmore two weeks ago while on a family vacation. Good ride. VERY clean cars! Thanks for the full ride presentation. It make a video so much better.
My parents and I used to ride this line back in the mid to late '80s when we lived there. Bostonians, how much has this line changed since then? The dinginess of some of the underground stations did seem pretty familiar when I rode the line again in 2014.
I thought Green Line trains from Riverside ended at Government Center. A similar thing happened to me yesterday evening. I got on at BU Central and the train said its destination was North Station, not Park Street.
Love how it still has an old school mechanical bell as heard arriving. The flat wheel is annoying. Last ride the T in 2010. Green Line “D” reminds me of the NJT Morris and Essex line.
It honestly depends on what day and time it is. Typically if it’s the middle of the week or a Sunday very late at night or between 10:00am-2:00pm or 7:00pm and later, it isn’t crowded. *(typically)*
It gets very slow once they go underground. Too many trains trying to share the same tracks. It's curious that the Green Line trains are usually composed of one newer set of cars and one older set.
The mixed set of one Type 7 and one Type 8 is by design. Type 8s are low-floor and Type 7s aren't, so it ensures at least one low-floor car per train. Type 7s hold more people than Type 8s, however, because the 8s lose floor space to the stairs at each end.
mbta1825 productions the B ends at park, the C ends at North station, and the D ends at government center. I have no idea why they all don't go to Lechmere
Poodles Maggee cuz it would make some of the routes (B, D) like an hour and a half so they stop some of them short. It definitely sucks to have to transfer to stay on the same line, but it’s better than no train at all
B ends at park, C at north station, D Gov't center, E Lechmere. They all don't go to Lechmere because it would create bunching which would not be good for service since trains would have to constantly stop and go at every signal with the frequency that they run. It makes any possible delays that occur even worse which would have more commuters complaining much more than they do now. Oh wait they do anyways so that doesn't matter. The point is that bunching would create huge gaps in service and that's bad. Self explanatory.
That should be a bit faster, I hope? The Green Line is more like the Croydon trams, though the D branch is at least grade-separated and goes faster than the others.

I took that line in college. Almost 5 tests ago and see this video, hit me in the Hearth. I miss Boston.
You would be surprised at how many people can fit in one of those cars after a Bruins game

So far I learned the Green Lines B, D, and E but no one did a full ride for line C: Cleveland Circle...will you be able to do that one please?

Usually when on the Green Line, I travel from Eliot (D Branch) to Science Park.
I thought Green Line trains from Riverside ended at Government Center. A similar thing happened to me yesterday evening. I got on at BU Central and the train said its destination was North Station, not Park Street.
Benjamin Chan It does, but this video was taken before the new Government Center Station was opened and car 3675 is getting refurbished.
Love how it still has an old school mechanical bell as heard arriving. The flat wheel is annoying. Last ride the T in 2010. Green Line “D” reminds me of the NJT Morris and Essex line.
The squeal gets awful when you go underground. Especially because there happens to be a lot of really tight turns in the streetcar tunnels
Cool. These things still catch fire?
The bell sounds like from dart rail
WONDERLAND
Very nice 38:23 how it negotiates that turn.
is it still crowded when theres no games at fenway
It honestly depends on what day and time it is. Typically if it’s the middle of the week or a Sunday very late at night or between 10:00am-2:00pm or 7:00pm and later, it isn’t crowded. *(typically)*
Nice Video! I just Boston. I took some great footage and I will post it to my channel some. I would love to get your feedback.

So does the E B C and obviously D all end at park st? Or do they all end at diffrent stops?
mbta1825 productions the B ends at park, the C ends at North station, and the D ends at government center. I have no idea why they all don't go to Lechmere
Poodles Maggee cuz it would make some of the routes (B, D) like an hour and a half so they stop some of them short. It definitely sucks to have to transfer to stay on the same line, but it’s better than no train at all
@@TheLocalLt I wonder what lines will run on the Somerville line
B ends at park, C at north station, D Gov't center, E Lechmere.

The point is that bunching would create huge gaps in service and that's bad. Self explanatory.
mbta1825 productions the E will run all the way to Somerville, another service will run to Tufts where Somerville trains won’t stop
This is what Crossrail/Elizabeth Line going to be like.
That should be a bit faster, I hope? The Green Line is more like the Croydon trams, though the D branch is at least grade-separated and goes faster than the others.
Green Line...tall riders with big feet beware.
Is Hynes the old stop named Auditorium? Or is Auditorium closed down? Auditorium was my old stop.
Yes. It was renamed after the convention center. For a while it was called "Hynes Convention Center/ICA" until the ICA moved.
It was called Massachusetts before Auditorium or Hynes.
