MBTA Renovations in 2010

[Pokestar9]

Any renovations for 2012?

BTW I like your videos! (:

Does MBTA hire often?

State is done! It opened fully on 04/26!

[2012alexg]

@ElevatingBoston Not fully, that new elevator has to open and the finishings have to be completed.

state street (blue) is gross. state street (orange) is nicer. we did a stat house tour and we entered from that building.

I wonder what renovations are ongoing for 2011.

[redsoxguy617]

i hate state street station, like if ur with me :)

[2012alexg]

1:48 Good catch with the old sign and map, didn't know there used to one up.

I thought Maverick has been finished. When did you film for this? I never noticed the unfinished surfaces at the ends of the tunnels when I went there a few times in late '09.

Good vid.

@BostonUrbEx This was filmed December 23rd, 2009. The concrete outside the station was laid incorrectly, causing lots of water to leak in. I assume they're waiting to fix the leaks before finishing the walls, or maybe they are just planning to leave it as it is, which would sure look bad.

State Street has been under construction for wayyyyyyyy to long.

[jdgator95]

@BrickBuilder15 Tell me about it!

[Q65LTD]

Great VId Man!

[ElevatorMatt]

Great video as usual!

[jdgator95]

Thanks!

Your videos keep getting better and better, they finished Arlington? Finally! Would like to have seen how far along Ashmont is, will have to wait until my next trip. Are all the 600 series Hawkers gone? Has anyone ever noticed the similarity between those cars and the older NY/NJ PATH cars? Just an observation. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!

[jdgator95]

Thanks! Yes, Arlington is pretty much done. Sorry, I didn't make it down to Ashmont because it would've taken to long to get down there and make my train home. All the 0600s have been taken out of service, but there are still tons of them all lined up in the Orient Heights yard (some pictures of them are on the site linked on my profile). I have noticed the similarity there, I've heard that the 0600's design was based on the PATH car's (or vice versa).

[DGromet]

Too bad that the MBTA made the Berkeley Street entrance to Arlington an emergency exit only. It looks like once a year opening again or maybe never for regular service.

[markjwil]

Well done!

[subway007]

Excellent video man :D

[jdgator95]

Thanks!

[bozepravde15]

great vid, you shoulda also gone to mattapan station and ashmont station

[Jayayess1190]

I have been wondering this forever. Why do Boston subway trains always have the red tail lights on at the front of the trains?

[jdgator95]

Not sure, they probably just serve as marker lights on the subway trains.

happy new year but i do think state street looks awfull looks like a cave thats beeen like that now for 2 or 3 years or more but all the other stations looks nice

[2012alexg]

Wow, I never new how close State and Aquarium were. P.S I second everything TNT314159 said.

[CaptainHollyShort]

@2012alexg Yeah, I was shocked by their close proximity too. And really, State looked better before they cannibalized it...

[TNT314159]

The HD is looking great! And yes State is a dump I always avoid it. Gov't Ctr is really squeaky for some reason.

[joedfd43]

Arlington looks wonderful now. Kenmore looks great. The State Street construction will be a pain it looks like.

[gp40mc]

state is a dump.
