1995 01 Boston MA

[@richardsilva5934]

I loved the old North Station. So many wonderful memories getting off here to attend Boston Garden events over the years. I miss the old PCC trolleys I grew up riding. I also miss the old Lechmere station which was part of my youth.

My parents and I stayed at a hotel down the street from the old Lechmere station in 2012 when my sister graduated from BU graduate school, and it was our primary source of transportation while there. It's amazing that it was being used almost until it was 98 years old!

I must update my comment. The Green Line at Lechmere is completely transformed, and as of right now, the terminus is now Union Square! The new station looks incredible, and there are no turn styles…but you must tap your Charliecard on the ticket machine and receive a printout for validation just in case transit police check! The current state of the former station used up until a few months ago (Lechmere) is sad. It looks like it’s nothing more than a horse stable. Surprised they haven’t demolished it yet! I took photos for my references to compare them in the future.

I miss the good old days. I remember when the 01800s seats use to be red cloth. Best childhood memories

[@redphone1438]

6:08 look at the shiny Bombardier 01800s!

[@papadop]

And with the original red cloth seating

[@RobertPaniagua]

now the 01800s are once again shiny!

[@trainvideos4988]

surprising how fast trains went compared to trains today

[@nathanbush6781]

I bet that Green Line sign is still there today! Not one station has been altered, it looks like!

[@raysmith1026]

I remember the red line ran 4 cars on late nights and weekends back in the days. Also, I miss the old Ashmont Station

The type 7’s used to have louder motor propulsion noises?

[@nathanbush6781]

And I must add, that I took a Green Line train to Cleveland Circle that was brand new (about two years old is what the T employee told me)…Frank’s voice is regrettably not on the automatic announcements…it’s a female no nonsense voice…Frank’s was definitely better! No smoking, please!!!

[@scottd7222]

Lol damn as an avid red line rider coming out of Somervile I could hear the "no smoking please" distinctly as I read that.

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

16:31 wait it used to just be a cross platform transfer?? That’s so much easier than the current method

[@diegotherobloxfanatic6962]

6:20 they used announcements

[@robertsawa3407]

Year 2022 Pcc trolleys still running 27 years later.

[@seanalailima5929]

Why? They are old:

[@calonjibass5330]

That's got to be January 8,1995

[@hongyizhou1734]

my childhood T_T

[@djb-illy8471]

Nothing changed .

[@redphone1438]

So many things have changed since 1995. The MBTA uses different LED sign boards in the stations. South Station (MBTA Subway Section) looks very different today because of the Silver Line added in 2004. North Station is now underground since 2004. Just a few of many things that has changed. But yes plenty of things stayed the same such as the Red Line trains.

[@denissecruz5173]

I was here thinking “why they don’t use the masks!! Oh right.. Good old times

[@scottd7222]

Thank God I moved out the city and into a car before that madness began. I couldn't imagine riding the sardine cans in the am with a gag on.

[@AliMohamed-kv1xx]

Nothing has actually changed

[@redphone1438]

Lots of things have changed. One example is that the MBTA Subway South Station mezzanine in this video looks almost unrecognizable to today. The silver line waterfront was added on that mezzanine in 2004 and a second floor was added moving the fare machines to the second floor.

[@androidepin]

That's not true, things are significantly worse now

Oldest and crustiest city in America

[@OlleSN]

Is´nt San Augustin FL the oldest in northern America?

[@scottd7222]

Philadelphia? That place is a dump

[@scottd7222]

@@OlleSN Jamestown was the first settlement

[@risksrewardsrelics51]

Not the oldest city… not even the oldest state capital.
