I don't know too much about Boston's subway system, but know there was an extension that opened in 1975, and then again in the late 80's. I think a failed highway project also opened up a ROW (I don't know the story, but all the land was cleare, buildings torn down, etc, and then they moved the I-95 ROW somewhere else, and instead that already cleared ROW, instead of letting it go to waste was given to the subway. I am a little unclear on it.That's correct. Originally, I-95 was planned to go through the center of Boston instead of following the Route 128 semicircular beltway as it does now. The RoW, now known as the Southwest Corridor, includes the MBTA Orange Line, Amtrak and MBTA Commuter Rail tracks as well as a linear park. |
