And of course I am arguing "would have, could have, should have" instead of what actually transpired. Going with Arrow I cars in the early 1970s instead of the Red Line extension and the Orange line relocations would have allowed the MBTA to continue serving Everett, Dudley Square and other locations away from their commuter network while improving service through the areas now along the relocated subway lines with electric commuter service.Of course today you're absolutely right, we're stuck. The MBTA passed the buck on restoring rail to Washington St, and nothing is going toward Everett anytime in the near future. It's kind of SEPTA in reverse, with the commuter rail system being sacrificed for the sake of subway construction. I can't quite figure out which one came out the worse for their efforts. |
