EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1892, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Boston's early subway system. The image depicts double-decker trains positioned at a proposed subway station in Boston, Massachusetts. At the time, the idea of underground transportation was still a novel concept, and the double-decker design was an innovative solution to accommodate a larger number of passengers. The Boston Subway, also known as the "T," was the first subway system in the United States, and it opened in 1897. However, this photograph captures the planning and construction phase of the project, which began in the late 1880s. The double-decker trains were an experimental design, and this photograph provides a unique perspective on their integration into the subway system. The station in the background of the photograph is still recognizable today, although it has undergone significant changes over the years. The station, located at Arlington Street, is a popular stop on the Green Line, and it remains an essential part of Boston's transportation infrastructure. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the clothing and transportation technology of the late 1800s. The men in the photograph are dressed in suits and hats, while the women wear long dresses and bonnets. The double-decker trains, with their open windows and wooden seats, are a stark contrast to the modern, air-conditioned trains that run through the Boston Subway today. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and vision of the engineers, architects, and planners who brought the Boston Subway to life. It is a reminder of the importance of innovation and progress in transportation, and it continues to inspire new generations of transportation enthusiasts and urban planners.
