This must have been right around the time of the texting crash between Govt Ctr and Park. I remember those Boost Mobile and Legal Seafoods ads. In fact, they are still on the wrecked cars at Riverside….

The State of Michigan NEED to take some lessons from MBTA.

Were these headed towards Government Center Fenway, Cleveland Circle, Fenway, or one that I missed?

[jdgator95]

@Smackdown9586 these were headed towards Govt. Center, North station, and Lechmere

[Smackdown9586]

@jdgator95 Oh. okay just wondering. So no special game or event, just five trains.

[redcarsarasota]

@jdgator95 I used to live in Boston at the corner of Mass Ave & Beacon more than 20 years ago. My stop was Auditorium, I don't know if they renamed it to something else, it looks to be about where Hynes is now. My girlfriend at that time lived down by Coolidge Corner. Most of my friends lived near the Green Line and some on the Orange Line, this video and your other videos bring back so many good memories!

I am not surprised. By the time the trains get to Copley they are bunched up like an accordion. The E is actually a rare train because the route is short (they run to Lechmere as a result) but rather complicated since after Symphony it is all street level without separation.

i like Bredas :) and the green line

[ck4049]

The 3700 were once dubbed as the 7.5 cars. They have black floors, black seat cushons, door chimes, and gray window trim!

[WhyAyeMann]

The green line is the only railsystem in the world that i know of that has traffic jams.

[gmastah19]

holy shit now thats what i call frequent service!

[uniqdymand]

thats crazy one train after another is there a such thing called train traffic

[dea41396returns]

was there a RedSox game that day, that may be why this happened (although knowing the T, they'd run 1 car trains to/from Kenmore 4 a redsox game)?

[jdgator95]

@dea41396returns Nope!

[gygyman64]

I wish trams in my city wore like this :)). This things are huuuuge.

[jdgator95]

Yes, they are pretty big. A full grown person standing up doesn't even reach the windows on a Type 7, lol.

[dea41396returns]

and when you need a train (IE: E Branch at Gov Center), every other branch comes but the E

[2012alexg]

You see? Now why can't all of the T service be like this?

[parejopinto]

hey green line always uses overhead wire right?? never third rail??

[jdgator95]

Yes always overhead

[parejopinto]

ok thanx

[Moepabc]

great video!

[jdgator95]

Thanks!

[jdgator95]

Thanks!

The Type 7's on the last two trains are known as the type 7.5 Cars, these cars are numbered 3700-3719 and were delievered with the door chimes and the black seats.

[jdgator95]

Oh i see, thanks for the info :)

How old are the 7.5's?

[LetTheGreenGirlGo]

About 12 Years Old I think...

[electronicsdrive]

If I remember correctly they are the 37** trains and were built around 1997, the older 36** trains were built around 1983. The "type 8s" are numbered 38**.

[jdgator95]

Thanks for those facts, I'll be looking at the car numbers now whenever i'm on the green line :)

[dneidorff]

Hey, when you ride the old 7s go towards the cab and look on the outside cab wall up near the stop request sign..There is a Kinki Sharyo placard that states what year they were produced. the 36** were mostly around 1987 and 1988 and the 37** were all 1997, which is funny cause there is no notable difference. And the 37** are not called the 7.5s. They are all type 7s.

[sieman700]

ya during rush hour their are more greenline trolleys because of more people and a some of the type 7 kinki sharyo trolleys have been equiped withdoors closing chimes and seats
