The Red Line is a rapid transit line operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) as part of the MBTA subway system. The line runs south and east underground from Alewife station in North Cambridge through Somerville and Cambridge, surfacing to cross the Longfellow Bridge then returning to tunnels under Downtown Boston. It continues underground through South Boston, splitting into two branches on the surface at JFK/UMass station. The Ashmont branch runs southwest through Dorchester to Ashmont station, where the connecting light rail Ashmont-Mattapan High Speed Line (shown as part of the Red Line on maps, but operated separately) continues to Mattapan station. The Braintree branch runs southwest through Quincy and Braintree to Braintree station.

Only ridden the Red Line 2x. Last time in Nov 1975! I thought it odd that Park St was lit by lots of Incandescent lights and the tunnels at florescent tubes. Funny story, and I swear, this is true: Got on the Green line somewhere near BU, might have been Copley. I was going to Cambridge to meet a friend. I asked the Green Line car driver how to get there. He told me to take this car to "Pack St." I whip out my map and look and look and finally say "I can't find Pack St. He replied, "Pack Street, Pack Street, P - - - A - - - Air - - - K, Paaack St! Realized what he was telling me and said, "Oh, Park ST" To which he replied, "I told ya, p-air-k St,

I remember the old white and red trains with the black "leather" seating. It was a big thing when the new silver and red scheme came to be. This was back in the late 90s going into the very beginning of the 2000s. I remember back in the 90s when a lot of the stations were getting redone and the smell of the fresh unique train station tar. Brings back good memories of when I was young.

@imagenotfound Год назад

And the old station decorations uncovered as they removed the thin concrete walls covering them.

@thomasdatrain4391 Год назад

I was homeless in Boston for five years not that long ago. February of 2021 I broke into Park St at 3am to get warm and swear over anything I saw a black smoky shadow gliding down the platform right past me as it dropped down onto the tracks and into the tunnel. I knew immediately it was a spirit. I ran out and up the escalator so fast.

You've got to be a real MBTA geek to appreciate this video. Well, I am and I do. Very good video. You got some great shots. As a kid growing up in Mattapan and Dorchester, I rode the Red Line all the time. (I'm not sure it was actually called the "Red Line" back then.) As an adult, I'm still a rail fan and model railroader - no doubt inspired by those early days on the subway. (Don't get me started on the PCC cars ;)) Thanks for the memories!

Great video ! I love this line and the Longfellow Bridge ! I filmed a few videos of it when I went to the US two years ago, they're still somewhere on my channel.

@thewaflwizard 3 года назад

Great content DJH. Love watching these tour videos of transit lines. Keep doing what you're doing.

@SigmaRho2922 3 года назад

At the time the video was filmed, the T was a few months removed from a recent derailment that involved the 1400 series cars that caused the 5 trains composed of the 1400 and 1900 series to be removed from service (40 cars in total; 12 cars were being tested as well). The side bearer pads were wearing more quickly than expected which likely contributed to the cars getting removed from service. Although only 1 of the trains was composed of 1900 series cars, the train was removed from service as a result of the derailment. The 1900 series is replacing all the cars on the Red Line; including the 1800 series (which is being retired due to structural integrity issues).

@TheChicagoL 3 года назад

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears from what you're saying that the new CRRCs are still sidelined from revenue service. has MBTA given any indication of when they would return to service?

CTA customer here from Chicago, CRRC has it's own factory in Chicago and are making our 7000-series run of trains to replace equipment from the 80s and 90s on the Blue and Orange Lines, the issues with the Red Line cars in Boston do have me a bit concerned, but there has been rolling stock testing recently.

The oldest Red Line trains Pullman trains are from 1969-1970 refurbished in 1985-1988 and look a lot more modern looking then the former R32 trains in NYC. To be honest R32 trains were never really nice train cars especially because of the graffiti in the 80s.

it depends on what you mean: commuter, rapid transit m freight, abandoned, trolley? just in the city or in the MBTA system? and if the system just the rapid transit or as a whole. there’s a lot more than most know, including two active freight yards, multiple retired and abandoned freight yards, several linking lines that look abandoned but are active etc…
