MBTA E Line


January 3, 2008

Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Green "E" Line, Boston

One of 4 streetcar lines (the "Green Line") that converge underground in the "Downtown Subway", the E line runs from Lechmere (see 12-30-07), underground through Downtown Boston, and emerges from the tunnel along Huntington Avenue ("Avenue of the Arts") to an area of Mission Hill near Jamaica Plain. The Green Line operates trolleys that run on overhead power lines. This view was taken from the Longwood Medical stop, just north of Brigham Circle, and looks northeast towards Northeastern University. The main building of MassArt appears to the left of the photo.

This was a particularly cold evening , with heavy wind gusts and a temperature of approximately 10 degrees at the time the photo was taken.
