The line was known as the Main Line Elevated under the Boston Elevated Railway, and the Forest Hills–Everett Elevated (Route 2 on maps [7]) under the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. After taking over operations in August 1964, the MBTA began rebranding many elements of Boston's public transportation network.
The MBTA is in the process of replacing its entire fleet of Red Line and Orange Line cars, which are over 40 years old, as of 2024. [14] The Blue Line cars were replaced in 2008. The Green Line has a variety of vehicles, some dating back to 1986, with the latest batch delivered in 2019.
It serves the MBTA Orange Line, and is located at 380 Massachusetts Avenue. The station opened in 1987 as part of the renovation and relocation of the southern Orange Line into the Southwest Corridor. The Orange line runs parallel to the Northeast Corridor, which carries Amtrak trains and several MBTA commuter rail lines.
However, several minor stations were never reopened. In June 1967, the B&M discontinued never-subsidized Boston–Dover and Boston–Concord round trips - the last remains of B&M interstate service. [11] Several out-of-district stations were also closed in April 1966 when the MBTA began subsidizing several New Haven Railroad lines. [11]
A Silver Line bus at East Berkeley Street stop, the former location of Dover station, in 2011. Since the Southwest Corridor was located somewhat further to the west than the elevated had been, away from neighborhood centers like Dudley and Egleston Squares, the MBTA promised that a branch of the light rail Green Line would be built to provide continued rapid transit service to those areas.
In 1924, the East Boston Tunnel was converted to use metro rolling stock. The MBTA renamed the lines to the Blue Line and Orange Line in 1965, and renamed both stations to State in 1967. The Orange Line platforms were extended in the 1980s for six-car trains.
