this really makes me home sick. I use to ride the train to and from Dudley Station/Forest Hills when I went to Washington Irving Jr.High School in Rosalindale, Mass.
I could listen to this close my eyes and I’m right back there, on my way to school again. Thanks

I’m not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later and see
if the problem still exists.

Fantastic footage. Please correct the title. This train goes WAY beyond Dudley Street northbound into the South Portal (tunnel) to Essex Street station (now Chinatown station). Whoever had the foresight to capture this should be saluted! Thank You. Thank You.

great pics, 1850 washington st. and northampton station was were I called home, and where new edition filmed candy girl. streets seem so empty when the lines went down. looks like a different world now from what it was, not necessarily a bad thing. Still I think about the old orange line with fond memories.

tilting thinking to myself this train is going to fall
off. great memories and thanks for the pics.

My jaw dropped when i saw the pic of COZ tagging Dudley station…I used to run with MASS and CHANT( I spied his tag in there too) back in the 80′s…My tag was GEO. MASS and I were in the NSA crew. Just think about how many beautiful rooftop pieces there were to be seen, ONLY from the El train perspective! I wish i had a camera with me during the many trips I took via the Orange line…Great site by the way! So Nostalgic! Good luck and my respect for your talent Alone!
