		The Harvard routes were replaced with trackless trolleys in 1958, and are the only surviving MBTA trackless trolley routes not counting the new phase 2 Silver Line and a short non-revenue connection from the terminus of the 71 to the Watertown Carhouse.
		The Charlestown Elevated, part of the Orange Line north of downtown Boston, was replaced by the Haymarket North Extension in 1975, and the Washington Street Elevated lasted until 1987, when the Southwest Corridor was opened to replace it.
		Though the MBTA had agreed to extend the Green Line through the two cities, there had been no progress on the extension since the deal was made in 1990.

		The Orange Line is a rapid transit line that runs north from Forest Hills Station in Jamaica Plain through downtown Boston to Oak Grove in Malden, north of Boston.
		The MBTA was not able to honor this commitment, and in the summer of 2002 opened the Silver Line in northern Roxbury, presenting it to the community as replacement service for the Elevated Orange Line.
		The Elevated Orange Line was to be replaced by an eight-lane highway that would circle Boston's central district, connect with a federally funded interstate, and cut directly through Heart of the City communities.

		Subsequently, the MBTA sent a second Notice of Default on September 15, 1993, specifying that the amount of unpaid rent, as determined by the CPA firm, totaled approximately $1.3 million as of June 30, 1993, or 80% of all rent due to the MBTA from the leases’ inception to date.
		In conclusion, the MBTA’s actions taken during the tenure of the Master Leases were consistently to the advantage of the defaulted Master Tenant and were not in the best interests of the MBTA nor the taxpayers of the Commonwealth.
		Specifically, the MBTA should independently verify that it has received the proper share of base rent and percentage rent due from all subtenants in accordance with the terms of their subleases and that these amounts are properly reflected in the Master Tenant’s annual reports.

	MBTA Blue Line
		The Blue Line is the shortest line on the MBTA and is the only MBTA rapid transit line to terminate in downtown Boston.
		The line sat unused until the 1950s when it was converted to standard gauge rapid transit operation and connected to the tunnel line in East Boston, creating the Blue Line as we know it today.
		The tunnel line's heritage as a streetcar subway are quite obvious at both State and Aquarium, where the stations are quite a bit smaller than one would expect for a rapid transit heavy rail subway.

	MBTA Orange Line
		Once known as the Main Line El, the Orange Line consisted of an elevated line from Everett, through Charlestown, and entered a shared portal with the Green Line at North Station.
		There were plans to extend the line from the northern, and southern elevated, but those was scrapped, in favor of a decision to tear down the remaining elevated lines.
		The MBTA thought of using overhead wires on these proposed lines, and provisions were made for this on new equipment.

	Orange Line
		The MBTA's 01200-series Hawker-Siddeley Orange Line rapid transit cars have been serving the system faithfully ever since their purchase in the late-1970s.
		The Orange Line itself is at present probably the most "modern" of the MBTA's subway lines.
		The local end of the line is housed in a large channel that runs through several of Boston's neighborhoods - the Southwest Corridor transitway.

		On the "multiple name" stations, the name closest to the "line" (orange bar) is the northbound Orange Line station name, the next one out is the southbound station name, and the third name is the name of the interchange station.
		The 1971 map was virtually identical to the 1967 map, except that the Red Line was modified to show the South Shore branch, and the Watertown line on the Green Line was eliminated (it had been "temporarily" closed in 1969).
		The Orange Line stations on the Haymarket-North extension were opened with these maps in 1975, though the new Orange Line extension to "Oak Grove" would not be completed until 1977.

	Public Transit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The MBTA's plan to replace the old elevated Orange Line may not be the best solution.
		When the proposed "Silver Line" is completed, in 2008, it will run down Washington Street, go underground near Chinatown, connect to Boylston and South Stations, go on to the developing South Boston Seaport (this section of the line is known as the South Boston Piers Transitway), and then extend to Logan Airport.
		Consider that the MBTA has beefed up the commuter rail in recent years, spending more than $500 million to expand it on the South Shore, yet a huge swath of Roxbury, and thousands of daily commuters, remain without a rapid-transit line.

	Orange Line (MBTA) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Orange Line is one of the four subway lines of the MBTA.
		Originally known as the Main Line of the Boston Elevated Railway and later the Forest Hills-Everett Elevated Line, the current name is derived from Orange Street, an old name for the section of Washington Street immediately south of downtown under which the Washington Street Tunnel, forming the center of the line, still runs.
		During the conceptual stages of the modern Orange Line in the 1970s, extensions to the beltway Route 128 were proposed by the Boston Transportation Planning Review, with termini at Reading in the north and Dedham in the south.

	Decision - AADC v. MBTA Federal Judge OKs Random Bag Searches during Democratic National Convention (DNC)
		The MBTA argues that the searches are justified because they are “administrative” security searches similar to the security inspections of personal belongings conducted at airports and the entryways to certain kinds of property, such as courthouses and military installations.
		The MBTA calls attention to two subway bombings that occurred earlier this year, one in Madrid on March 11, 2004, in which over 200 persons were killed, and one in Moscow on February 6, 2004, in which approximately forty persons were killed.
		It would perhaps have been desirable for the MBTA specifically to advise Orange Line and Route 93 bus riders that it was not just a possibility, but a certainty, that their belongings would be searched if (or when) their journey would take them through the Fleet Center security zone.

	Washington Street Elevated - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Washington Street Elevated was an elevated segment of Boston's Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority subway system, comprising the southern stretch of the Orange Line (named after the original name for a section of Washington St, Orange St.).
		The initial portion of the line, which ran from Dover Street to Dudley Square opened in 1901, while the extension south to Forest Hills was completed by 1909.
		During 2002, the MBTA deployed bus rapid transit along much of the route from Dudley Square to Downtown Crossing in the form of Phase I of the controversial Silver Line; while significant effort was made to optimize the street routes for bus travel, there was considerable neighborhood criticism for reducing the number of available stops.

	Jamaica Plain Historical Society - 'Transportation' Editor - Orange Line Memories
		Unlike any other (but one) of the old Orange Line stations, which disappeared when the line was moved west to be with the railroad tracks, Dudley Street Station, due to its location as a terminus and distribution point for buses, had to be remade.
		The other line anciently connected Roxbury's center and terminus with the vast Jamaica Plain car yard, whose size is still preserved by the housing development built on the site, and a few trolley poles still linger on the circumference.
		For the most part the six stations of the line were a long and narrow stretch of wooden flooring lying open to the sky except for the patina-covered wooden half roof on each side.

	STEP: Massachusetts and MBTA
		In March 2004, the MBTA commissioned the firm Vanasse Hangen Brustlin of Watertown to conduct a $391,000 study of transit needs for Somerville, East Cambridge, and Medford, including potential Green Line routes through Somerville.
		A document from the MBTA to keep an eye on is the Capital Investment Program (CIP), which is a five-year planning document of the MBTA's planned projects.
		The MBTA has also been talking for some time about the Urban Ring project, which would provide better public transit by improving the circumferential connections among the spokes of the T's many radial lines.
