Boston Subway Trip

If you take the Downeaster train you will arrive at the North Station stop. We took the Green line which I call Subway Cars, they are Trolleys that have a live wire suspended 15 feet or so above the car. They usually travel in pairs. You can see the operator as you enter the car. We took the Green line to Park Street where we changed to the Red line to go out to Central Stop and the MIT Museum. Park Street Station is a connecting point where the Green Line and the Red Line cross each other on different levels , they never physically connect together. The Red Line has what I call 'trains' that have a live 3rd rail in the center of the track and travel in 5 or 6 cars connected together. The operator is closed inside of a compartment. The station is built up so that the train is in a trench as opposed to the trolley cars that are on ground level.

Here is a very short clip of the Green Line Trolley Car(s) that are on the other side of the station going the opposite direction then the one we are waiting for.

Note the Cars and the Station posts are painted the color of the Line.
