Boston MBTA Subway - "The T" 

4:03 perfectly captures the green line Wheel squeal at Boylston station!

Thank you! We live just outside of Boston and my 3 year old train enthusiast will love this video. He loves riding the T! He loves your videos. His favorite is Steam Trains Galore 2. He watches it every day.

3:01 reminds me of one of the trains in New York.

i really love boston

When I was in jr. high here in NYC, I rode every line of the system after school, sometimes getting home real late! I saw parts of the City I had never seen before even though I was born here! One of my goals is to ride the subways of North America. I've been on the T many, many years ago but didn't get the chance to explore the entire system. Likewise, I rode the SE:PTA in Philly and Marta in Atlanta but those excursions were brief. I coined the term 'urbanrailer ' to describe my love and fascination with subways, light rail, trolleys, buses and commuter railroads. I want to see Chicago and DC, the BART, etc. I had Lionel trains as a kid but the real trains were outside my building! Initially, there were three divisions: IRT, BMT and IND; each had it's own rolling stock, station design, sound and smell and by 'smell' I'm not talking about anything offensive; they had a unique sound and smell. Taking the train to Coney Island was fascinating; the idea of a subway to the beach! I understand Lionel makes limited New York City subway train sets that are quite expensive but I would love to have one of them some day! They've just about replaced all the old stock here; the new trains, can't remember their designations, make a weird high pitched sound as they motor up! Are there any other urbanrailers out there? Let me know if you share my enthusiasm for urban transit systems!

I like the sound of MBTA [blue line]

The sounds are about right. The blue line seems like the least-used, and is the shortest. The red line during rush hour is murder. Can't go ten minutes without a ''disabled train'' full of people pulling through.

The T needs so much work, some of the trains are in horrendous shape, and living in New England I'm qualified to say that.

coming home is going to be a joy and a thrill,been gone 19 years,miss the home state

The Subway Trains is the great way to get to and from Work in The Boston Area.

Love the sparking of the third rail...

Great catches Mike!!!

I was on board that train on the way to Fenway, it was like being in a sardine can.

I just went to Boston and I rode the T! I love it!

U forgot orange

Good catches!

Ah! I love the subway in Boston! So many memories! :D

Awesome Video Mike

You seemed to want to only show the shiny new cars of the T. How about some shots of the green line cars that have so much rust you can almost push your thumb through the outer body. Or some of the older redline cars that can't seem to travel a few miles without breaking down. That's what most of us that use the T see everyday.

ahh yes I used to take the T to work at Logan Airport, drove to Braintree took the Red Line to Park Street then the Green Line to Government Center then the Blue Line to Airport Station and I did that for 15 years before moving to North Carolina

I've been on The 0772 In 2024 It still looks as new as first bought.

Hello! and welcome to Boston MA!

Does anyone have a serious addiction of looking at trains and riding them

Aug 26 2015 Red Line trains have stop running due to time and closure,same with Green,Orange,Blue,Silver and commuted rail.While with bus systems too.

I think these are one of the best trains ever 999,999

3:02 sounds like the R143 and the R188.

Well I was three but now I am nine I love your videos I live right outside of Boston just like my mother said

The green line's squeaky noise lol music to my ears.

Once of the two lines I've never ridden on the other being the Silver Line buses.

I film these stations now on my channel. . It’s crazy how they have new trains now

i love that subway

I love the clip starting at 5:46

Привет.Отличное видео. Работа метро мне над помнило фильм ( Опасные пассажиры поезда 123). Спасибо.

Trains are so cool

It’s interesting, the blue line is a combo of 3rd rail and overhead wire... usually it’s ether or...

Great video! Just wondering was this handheld? If it was it was hard to notice and you kept it very smooth. Thank you for the quality videos!

When ever I wanna listen to screemo I just go to Boylston or Gov. center and then I’m satisfied.

No one noticed how sharp the turns are on the Green Line?

The red line paint scheme reminds me of BR Intercity Swallow

Very nice! Fun to watch. :)

The trolley sounds like a NYC Subway R142A and R143

Mbta green line sounds like R188 4 5 6 trains even 7

Living in NYC and a frequent visitor of Boston I can honestly say that the "T" is in serous need of some new rolling stock. The worst I experienced was the Orange Line where the cars were rusting out all over the place and the suspensions bottoming out at high speeds. Not a good look for such a fine city ....

Station annunciator sounds like he's scared to talk

Boston!!!

NO ORANGE LINE😓

Headlights?

Wow!..

Subway trains galore 1

Dang i rember this vids when i was young actully where orange line lol

Those seats looked very hard. I think I'd sooner stand :0)

I like Boston (:

Nice video! Did you happen to catch the commuter rail?

Nice set of clips at various stations Mike - hope you didn't have any hassles from "undesirables"! Cheers. Ken

I love train

Did you get to go to either north station or south station

why the headlights are not on?

Where is the orange line in this video?

in Chicago the L train has it's headlights on.

Thought I should spread some news to you. It has been reported that Government Center (Green/Blue Line) will re-open in Late March 2016. Also, there are some hidden gems within the system as well, such as the closed off tunnel in the Orange Line that used to be part of the El, the tunnel at Boylston (where the display trains are) used to continue to above ground, and if you wanted to, you can see the old path where the Saugus branch railroad used to be, slowly becoming a ped/bike path.

Would you be ok with me using this footage for a video? I’ll link you’re video in the description. Thank you!

Good job👌🌘🌏

Can I ask what might seem to be a silly question? Why do motorman (or operators) of Blue, Red and Orange Line subway trains turn their headlights off (i.e. 0:52 and 4:51) just before entering a station? Just asking out of curiosity since subways on other systems leave their headlights on throughout the duration of their operation whether they are underground or not.

Omg slay queen sis

Are the flashes of light by the wheels the train getting electricity?

No orange line.

does the T subway have turnstiles?

IHeart Boston D:

What an odd subway. Empty stations with depressed announcers. Individual subway cars with pantographs. Underground trolleys. I don't even remember seeing any stations last couple times I was in Boston. Also like the exploding title graphic.

The blue line cars sound almost like the CTA 5000 series cars

One of the must do if i go to boston is ride the pccs

MBTA is in really low help right now trust me come to Boston

All y'all be careful. Tray that is really really scary and dark

Regular T rider here.. Famous? lol Try "Infamous". =) Love the T... despite all of its huge issues; and they are plentiful.

mike can you put more subway trains it haves a 4 train a train b train and more please i am your biggest fan with trains i love trains so much🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Also, could you tell me what horn that is in the "endtro"...

The tram sounds like the nyc r142A r143 and r188

I went there before

It looks so grim inside of the stations...

Is the Aquarium station on an incline?

The green line is the trolley

Here in canada it's a steam engine under ground

Do the NYC subway

The Boston the T Trains

Does anyone else like the sound of the blue line trains powering up to leave or is it just me?

Did you come to Virginia?

The T Party!

Pantographs even tho it uses 3rd rail?? Wow

yes the stations were a bit gritty but I love the T

Are those stations still 20 degrees below 0 in winter ?

Blue line needs work ASAP.

I live in Chicago.

What is the deal with Aquarium station? there's always water all over the damn place. I don't understand why their tracks in the tunnel still use ballast. why would you need it on a concrete base?

R143 and R142a/R188 Sounds

I went to the t train at Aquarium to government center

Is the Boston transit authority better than the one in NYC? MTA is the worst. I plan on moving to Boston soon. I hope their public transportation is better than the MTA.

red Front Lights?

why when they go foward they have set red lights

Og

I saw an orange line in an mbta video
