MBTA Orange Line Trains in North Station

[bsayles12]

Red line has yards at Braintree, broadway, and possibly Alewife. Blue line has a yard at Wonderland I believe. And the green and Orange should have an underground yard at North Station. Green with another at the end of each line of the Green.

I live in Chicago. I've ridden CTA,WMATA, MARTA, SEPTA, NYCTA, and BART.

The "T" is the only subway system I've ridden that leads with red lights (Green Line excepted). Oops! I forgot Baltimore's system.

@geneking7320 Indeed. I live in Toronto now and the trains here lead with blue LED (and clear white on the trains whose lights haven't burnt out and been replaced) and trail with red.

@CircusFreakGRITZ Your forgetting about the main one for the Red Line, Cabot

[timbothehippy]

where do all these trains dissapear to when there not in service? i know the red lines have somewhat of a yard in braintrree, and im sure thats pretty much it, but im still curious....ive always pictured some secret place with like hundreds of train cars there.....and thats where i want to work! haha

@timbothehippy Every line has at least one yard with rows and rows of tracks where the trains sit out of service, almost like a parking lot for trains.

@timbothehippy somewhere near sullivan station you can see the yard

its called the everret yard

[2012alexg]

@3siadrak It's actually called Wellington.

I lived in Boston many years ago... but was there last weekend to visit. I rode all the lines again, and enjoyed the trains on the orange line the best. Those seemed to remind me more of the way subways were when I rode them regularly in the 70's & 80's. I think it's neat though the way the loud speakers announce the oncoming train in the station! Never seen that before! ... not even in NYC.

[jdgator95]

@beenie3 Yep, the green, orange, and red lines still have the same trains that ran in the 80s, and even the 70s for the red line. The oncoming train announcements are new here and they are helpful.

[abinniss]

I guess thats wehere you get off to go to boston garden.

[jdgator95]

@abinniss Yep

[ghostengineer]

I love Boston and the MBTA even with all its flaws. Im curious though, I couldve sworn I saw the conductors(guard) head sticking out. I thought the T eliminated that position?

[jdgator95]

Nope, the guards still ride in the second to last cab on the Orange and Red lines, making announcements and working the doors.

Very clean!! I hope to see this more often when I take the Orange Line. I wonder if the Orange will have new cars like the ones on the Blue Line in the future.

[sieman700]

the chances for the orange line to get new cars will probaly be around 2013-2014 and for the red line too to replace the 01500's01600,01700'

[TTC4300]

Very nice for tourists like myself

[subway007]

[videonut33]

That clean "Orange Blossom" set at 0:17 looks just like it was back in 1981 when they brought the current cars for the Orange!!! Miracle indeed!!!

[jdgator95]

Except for the burnt out headlight :)

[danglesmcnasty]

[jdgator95]

:D OMG THEY ARE!!

Look, you can even see the cleaning guy get off the train at 0:22 !

It's an orange line miracle!
