Boston Uncovered: Abandoned subway tunnel under City Hall

[@MsSmitty9]

I love anything related to Old Scollay Square.

[@liamjmbtaandrailfan2791]

They should do a tour of the pleasant street incline, I'd do that one

[@bill6702]

I was born right across the street from the Pleasant St. portal, on Kirkland St. All gone now. Boy , dio I miss that old area.

[@Tallnstached]

Thats cool! Just watched the documentary on Netflix about this project.

[@xirulito4190]

Jack of No Trades what documentary? Give me the name please

[@edwardmiessner6502]

One track from Boylston Street and one track from Scollay Square... where did this tunnel lead to when it was running?

[@bill6702]

Next stop would be Haymarket Station, for both tracks.

[@aquakingman]

You forgot to mention full of lead paint and asbestos

[@davedwig]

Error in the caption - it closed in the 1960s, not 1898.

[@cityofboston]

Thank you for pointing this out! Correction has been made.

[@Taser420]

[@VideoGameVet]

And in terms of rail tunnels, built in 1844 by hand, The Atlantic Avenue Tunnel is officially the world's oldest subway tunnel. www.brooklynrail.net/proj_aatunnel.html

Can we make this Boston's version of the NYC High Line? Please...

[@uncledeadhead3674]

its a 200 foot rotting rat tunnel that will collapse soon. and you want to go hangout?

[@Roboboy]

Refurbish it and turn it into an actual MBTA museum! Untapped revenue... 🤦‍♂️

[@adammickey5946]

Revenue they could use to maybe make the T run on time?

[@tazmon122]

so what you're saying is "now that the area has been completely gentrified, into a big useless waste of space, take what's left underground and slap a museum in there, so the people pushed out have to pay more money to have their past identity put on display like some sort archaic relic of a primitive time"....what kind of fucked up sicko are you?

[@Jongo9999]

The first subway in the US was in Brooklyn in the 1840s, under Atlantic Ave.

[@russianboss0378]

You shoot in log but then don't bother colorgrading... (like i have authority on colorgrading lol) other than that interesting video! can't wait to see what plans are for the space

[@jacobvarley5453]

Cool and all but spend 40 seconds syncing your audio, it's about 1/2 second off and believe it or not, audiences will shy away from future viewings if this continues to happen. Research at what delay people notice audio lag.

[@jared7723]

condos, be cool to remeodel and live down there

[@Landau93Droid]

Original lead paint

[@markzaltron9157]

Thumbs up if you're here bc of Fallout 4.... OR you hate these kinds of statuses.

[@jonparks5485]

original dirt...as opposed to what?

[@tiefman8206]

Jon Parks relayed floors

[@VideoGameVet]

1897 is not the first subway in the USA. The first was in 1870: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_Pneumatic_Transit

[@HayastAnFedayi]

MBTA museum??? How about refurbish it and utilize it as an actual train station....believe that if you can smh it baffles me how inept the Commonwealth is towards its mass transit system, for all the complaining about traffic and the “global warming”, time and time again we ignore our transit systems, and worse we seldom expand and instead we take service away or never finish projects....instead of creating more bike paths, overhaul and expand the MBTA into its former glory, we had a great system that is a shell of itself....don’t even get me started on not finishing I-695 and the Inner Belt project...people wonder why with the Big Dig being finished that the traffic is still bad, it’s because the MBTA components were never finished/started, it all goes hand in hand
