There should be a Christmas song here: “Wassaic, Wassaic, all over the town....”

I love this ride so much!❤️It has good quality and extremely perfect audio. I’ve learned so much using TrainTime. I’ve been taking both the Long Island and Metro North Railroads. This is the Metro North line for my college (University of Mount Saint Vincent). This is where I get off at for an Uber ride to the campus.25:02Right now, every time I’ve taken Metro North to Grand Central, it’s the M3A. Crazy right? Nice ride by the way!❤

government center closed on March 22, 2014 for a major renovation that will include a new and expanded fare collection area to relieve overcrowding and make it easier for people to enter and exit, new platforms, new electrical/wiring systems, updated signage on both platforms, tiny speckles in the floor color-coded to the lines, refurbished “S” or “Scollay Under” signs that MBTA work crews uncovered last year will be installed in the rebuilt station, accessible elevators, wheelchair lifts, repainting the station walls and support columns white, raised platforms for people in wheelchairs to board the T’s newer low-floor streetcars easier, new escalators, one additional escalator will also be added, more energy efficient brighter white LED lighting, new LED signage and a new steel and glass head house looking at City Hall Plaza among other improvements being made to the century-old station. Officials estimate the station will reopen in the spring of 2016. The station is the transfer point between the blue and green lines both of which will pass by government center during the closure and not stop there. It’s a major transfer hub in downtown Boston. MBTA subway key bus route systems maps and schedules will say government center with an x through it or “station closed for renovation”. At park street, trains going to north station or lechmere will say “next stop haymarket”. The d and b branches originally terminated at government center, but they terminated at park street until the spring of 2016. Trains going westbound to heath street and cleveland circle at haymarket will say “next stop park street”. With the Green Line platform having opened in 1898. It is the fourth oldest of the key transfer point stations in the system (only Park Street and Boylston are older). It was an extension of the Tremont Street Subway with stations at Scollay Square, Adams Square and Haymarket Square. Opening on September 3, 1898. The oldest and first subway rapid transit line/tunnel in the United States as well as in North America. The Green Line is the oldest rapid transit light rail line in U.S., with tunnel sections dating back to 1897, the oldest in North America. The Blue Line platform opened on March 18, 1916 as an extension of the East Boston Tunnel then-streetcar line west to Bowdoin Square. Called Scollay Under. The Court Street Station closed in November 1914 and the passageway between the two stations was closed. The EBT opened on December 30, 1904 with streetcars starting at a trolley terminal at Maverick Square, with an intermediate stop at State Street. Atlantic Avenue (now Aquarium) was added in April 1906. The EBT was converted from low-floor trolley platforms to high-floor rapid transit subway platforms on April 20-24, 1924 and the first rapid transit cars the Blue Line used was the “No. 1 and No. 2” fleets built by Pullman-Standard in 1923-24.

Ohh the destination of this train was park street because government center was closed for reconstruction and this caused b branch service to be cut to park.

This is AWESOME! For a detailed question that's been on my mind is I have a good idea of where both ends of the former South Reading branch diverge off the MBTA mainlines (Salem station and Wakefield Junction), but where's the connecting junctions for the abandoned Newburyport "Branch" itself (where Guilford pulled freight until about 2001)? Did one end of the former Newburyport Branch diverge off near Wakefield Junction too? I'm really trying to find their " former shadows" to study.

ik im commenting this nearly 7-8 years in the future, but so people know: According to schedules from 2016, this was likely Metro North Train 783. An off peak Hudson Line night express departing Grand Central at 8:33 PM, Stopping at Marble Hill, Yonkers, Hastings-On-Hudson, followed by all stops to Croton Harmon, terminating at 9:33 PM, with a 1 Hour Trip Time. this train still runs in the schedule, as of January 30th, 2024, but has an adjusted schedule

For such a short line route, the Blue Line subway trains puts fellow rapid transit Red and Orange Line subway routes to shame because of speed: pretty cool especially between Aquarium through Maverick to [coming out of the tunnel for] Airport .

I do a Boston trip once or twice a year. I go on Amtrak because it’s cheap and convenient. I can get work done, and also take a nap. I ride on the train to go to my eye appointments in Portland. $3 one way from Brunswick to Portland is awesome. Going to Boston is cheap too, however if you ride in business class, it’s $80 round trip.
