@rodeliot Chicago has KEPT and expanded its L system and continues to thrive. The expanded L's seem to be good for the city. Look at the Midway Line. Who could ever imagine what would happen if the Loop were taken down?

@Mz2Classy4U88 In 1987 the line was relocated to share right of way with the northeast corridor(Amtrak) and the elevated structure was torn down supposedly in the interest of revitalizing Washington st. which is a major thoroughfare in Boston and the original U.S. route 1. Having been born in Boston and revisited several times a year, I can say revitalization has been slow to come. This line was the Americas 1st elevated to subway line and the 1st hi platform subway. c.1901

LOL I was 4 years old! Don't have too many memories of the El but it's cool to see as a young Bostonian. Looks Dangerous though!

I LOVED the EL. Thanks for the memories. Used to take the #29 bus from Mattapan to Egleston, and ride the Orange Line from Egleston to Washington station.

What's with the "Hold it!" at 7:52?

This was a charter trip. A ticket holder was late and could not make it in time for the departure at the end terminal. He is on the platform at this station. The operator stopped but was afraid that all doors would be opened by the conductor so she wanted to pull up to the normal berthing mark. The passengers thought the man was being left so they hollered...."Hold it."

I looked at 7:26 and didn't see anyone on a roof top. We do pick up a ticketed passenger a half minute later.
