As an old subway line which opened its first section back in 1901, the MBTA Orange Line is showing its age in many aspects. After the T had, partially or permanently, retired all the older 1200s series back in August of 2022, on the start day of the 1-month-long maintenance period, they are also trying to improve facilities including the stations, signal system, carhouse, tracks, as well as the 1400s series (Model: DKZ90) made by CRRC.
On usual days, especially during weekdays, the MBTA Orange Line is a cardinal transportation vessel that commutes between the cardinal areas located south and north around the Metropolitan Boston Area, including but not limited to: Malden, Community College, North Station, Downtown and Chinatown, Back Bay and Copley, Northeastern University, and Roxbury.
While for this video, it was recorded on 4/1/2023, a weekend maintenance day, which restricted the Orange Line's northern section running between North Station and Oak Grove. Southbound trains switch to northbound track at the south of Community College Station. On that day, I occasionally found a train with its cab-view curtain pulled up a little bit, forming a little crack, which was indeed very rare but an exciting discovery for railfans.
Thanks for watching!
