Some pics that bring me back.. Boston’s elevated Orange Line.
MBTA Orange Line at Forest Hills Station (my old home base)

Green St., looking inbound
Egleston Station, my stop for school
Goin over the Mystic River
In the South End. You can see the sign for St Vincent de Paul in the background.
Elevated Orange Line in Roxbury. Check out Skippy Whites, best spot for vinyl back in the day.
Pulling out of Forest Hills Station, looking from the bus yard.
The elevated Orange Line tracks (R.I.P.) being removed, looking north from Forest Hills.
The above pics are taken from NYCsubway.org. Those are just some of my favorite pics, mainly because they are of my old stomping ground. Check out more old school MBTA flics on their website.

2006, near Boston.
2008, somewhere else.
This second picture was found on the web and emailed to me. Don’t know where it was taken, but it’s doing some travelling. The paint is still holding up alright and they’ve repainted the trains info* in the “N”.
*Not that I condone this, but… for anyone painting freights, try to not paint over the train’s info. They have to repaint that part, and it’s one of the reasons that they have a problem with freight graffiti. Also, if alot of the numbers are getting painted over in the same yard, it’s a sign to them that trains are being painted in that location.
