⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Exploring the MBTA Blue Line in Boston (2023)

[@DerrickTan74]

State, Govt Center, and Aquarium are some of my favorite stations on the Blue Line!

[@Pensyfan19]

This is what happens when you run subway trains on a line originally designed for streetcars.

[@yomarpenadelacruz6851]

I can’t tell if your like that or against it💀

[@jasminehyman2671]

EXACTLY

[@jasminehyman2671]

Lol

[@SpaceGod718]

Definitely a very scenic route

[@rap5995]

Cool video. I used to live next to Wonderland and rode the BL daily. Now I’m stuck on the Orange Line at Oak Grove.

[@DerrickTan74]

Love the propulsion of the 700-series cars!

[@yomarpenadelacruz6851]

REAL

[@Rabbit14]

its probably the most reliable line for boston. some of the older cars got sold off to other cities from the blue line.

[@yomarpenadelacruz6851]

0600 series made by Hawker Siddeley 1978-1980 I believe, retired 2009 2 sent to US DOT at Pueblo, Colorado. Fate of them unkown. 2 sent to Seashore Trolley Museum to be preserved in 2009, can be visisted, currently not in use due to needing repairs 2 at MBTA Broadway training facility for emergencies, unoperable Total of 6 saved, 4 operable (mostly), 4 confirmed to still exist

[@scottyerkes1867]

Interesting subway line originally intended for trolley cars. Also a mix of third rail and overhead power. Plus underground and surface running. Thanks DJHammers👌💚

[@Thedecider1984]

Interesting names for stations

[@HayleyKiyokoLineBMT]

Excellent work DJ

[@brianjunior527]

First clip reminds me of NYC City Hall loop

[@andrew_ray]

Interesting, since it is a loop. That's the turnaround at Bowdoin.

[@nicktrainor7833]

It would be nice to see the above ground blue line stations out in East Boston to Wonderland!

[@EGOR4IKTRAINS]

The seats on the train are similar to the seats on the metro train model 81-740 "Rusich"

[@londonwhaley8690]

I enjoyed that video👍👍

[@Northeast_Rail_guy]

Nice video 👍

[@deanschneider558]

Interesting that there's no cover on the third rail. Great video!

[@Qboro66]

*Third Rail Protection Board...

[@erik_griswold]

Boston doesn’t go for that.

[@yomarpenadelacruz6851]

Its not needed on the Blue line anyway because all third rail there is underground until Airport to switch to overhead catenary lol

[@trainluvr]

Like paff

[@SnazzyGoober]

Ironically enough I’ve been down this route on my visit to Boston last year from top to bottom, I was born in Toronto it’s definitely a scenic route but the trains are so noisy it’s annoying

[@Valeria-qk3zv]

I like trains

[@MetroShadow1]

Bowdoin had this gross smell the entire time I was there. 😂

[@shawnellchristian2693]

That Tight Curve On The Boston MBTA Blue Line, Looks Familiar And Sounds Similar,😳😳😳😳😕😕🙁To The Noisy 90 Degree "S Curve,🫣🫣🙄🙄On New York City's MTA 2 And 5 Subway Lines That Connects, The 149th Street-Grandconcourse And The 138th Street Subway Stations, On The, Lower Level.😐😐😕😕☹️😒😒🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@RailfannerNYC]

literally just a path train

[@yomarpenadelacruz6851]

The previous Blue Line fleet was based off a PATH train, and the current fleet was based off the old fleet LMAO

[@Society2day]

You know, for a city that is well diverse in knowledgeable people, your trainsit network is really poorly designed. That equipment looks to be struggling with the infrastructure that it rolls on. Also, i find it uncomfortably loud just watching this video. I also looked up the system online that equipment is not compatible with the trackwork they got going on.
