Arborway was an MBTA light rail stop and bus transfer location in Boston , Massachusetts . It served the MBTA Green Line E Branch . It was located in Arborway Yard near the Forest Hills station complex . It closed in 1985 when the outer section of the branch was temporarily - and ultimately permanently - closed .
The Green Line is a light rail system run by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority ( MBTA ) in the Boston , Massachusetts , metropolitan area . It is the oldest Boston rapid transit line , and with tunnel sections dating from 1897 , the oldest in America . It runs as a deep-level subway through downtown Boston , and on the surface into inner suburbs via four branches on several radial boulevards . With an average daily weekday ridership of 160,000 in 2019 , it is the second most heavily used light rail system in the country . The line was assigned the green color in 1967 during a systemwide rebranding because several branches pass through sections of the Emerald Necklace of Boston . The four branches are the remnants of a large streetcar system , which began in 1856 with the Cambridge Horse Railroad and was consolidated into the Boston Elevated Railway several decades later . The branches all travel downtown through the Tremont Street Subway , the oldest subway tunnel in North America . The Tremont Street Subway opened its first section on September 1 , 1897 , to take streetcars off overcrowded downtown streets ; it was extended five times over the next five decades . The streetcar system peaked in size around 1930 and was gradually replaced with trackless trolleys and buses , with cuts as late as 1985 . A new branch opened on a converted commuter rail line in 1959 ; the Green Line Extension project will extend two branches into Somerville and Medford in 2021 .
The E Branch ( also referred to as the Huntington Avenue Branch , or formerly as the Arborway Branch ) is a streetcar line in the Boston , Massachusetts area , operating as a branch of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Green Line . From 1985 to 2011 , service beyond Heath Street ( from VA Medical Center to the original outbound terminus at Arborway ) was temporarily suspended , with the 39 bus providing service beyond ; service restoration was officially canceled in 2011 after the defeat of a lawsuit . The segment of the line between Brigham Circle and Heath Street is the only remaining section of street-running tracks in revenue use by the MBTA ; all other trackage is in tunnels and bridges , on private rights-of-way , in reserved medians , or is used for out-of-service trains ( near Cleveland Circle ) . Northeast of the street-running section , the tracks run in the median of Huntington Avenue before descending via the Northeastern Incline into the Huntington Avenue Subway . Just west of Copley station , an underground flat junction connects the line into the other Green Line branches in the Boylston Street Subway , where they all run together to downtown . As of 2019 [ update ] , the E Branch is the only Green Line branch that regularly runs through to Lechmere Station , the northern terminus of the Green Line .
The Silver Line is a system of bus routes in Boston and Chelsea , Massachusetts operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority ( MBTA ) . It is operated as part of the MBTA Bus system , but branded as bus rapid transit ( BRT ) as part of the MBTA subway system . Six routes are operated as part of two disconnected corridors . As of 2019 [ update ] , weekday ridership on the Silver Line was 39,000 . The four Waterfront routes operate out of an underground terminal at South Station and run through the South Boston Piers Transitway - a dedicated bus tunnel through the Seaport District with stations at Courthouse and World Trade Center . At Silver Line Way , they fan out on the surface : the SL1 to Logan International Airport , the SL2 to Design Center , and the SL3 to Chelsea via East Boston . ( An additional short turn route , SLW , runs only at peak hours between South Station and Silver Line Way . ) The SL1 and SL3 operate in mixed traffic through the Ted Williams Tunnel ; the SL3 uses a limited-access haul road in East Boston and a dedicated busway in Chelsea for part of its route . The SL2 operates in mixed traffic in the Seaport . The Waterfront routes use articulated dual-mode buses that operate as electric trolleybuses in the Transitway and conventional diesel buses on the surface . Battery electric buses and a diesel hybrid bus with extended battery range are being tested ; one of the types may ultimately replace the dual-mode buses . Two routes operate on Washington Street between Dudley Square station ( at Nubian Square in Roxbury ) and Downtown Boston .

Charlestown is the oldest neighborhood within the city of Boston , Massachusetts , United States . Originally called Mishawum by the Massachusett tribe , it is located on a peninsula north of the Charles River , across from downtown Boston , and also adjoins the Mystic River and Boston Harbor waterways . Charlestown was laid out in 1629 by engineer Thomas Graves , one of its earliest settlers , in the reign of Charles I of England . It was originally a separate town and the first capital of the Massachusetts Bay Colony . Charlestown became a city in 1848 and was annexed by Boston on January 5 , 1874 . With that , it also switched from Middlesex County , to which it had belonged since 1643 , to Suffolk County . It has had a substantial Irish-American population since the migration of Irish people during the Great Irish Famine of the 1840s . Since the late 1980s , the neighborhood has changed dramatically because of its proximity to downtown and its colonial architecture . A mix of yuppie and upper-middle-class gentrification has influenced much of the area , as it has in many of Boston 's neighborhoods , but Charlestown still maintains a strong Irish-American population and Townie identity . In the 21st century , Charlestown 's diversity has expanded dramatically , along with growing rates of the very poor and very wealthy . Today Charlestown is a largely residential neighborhood , with much housing near the waterfront , overlooking the Boston skyline . Charlestown is home to many historic sites , hospitals and organizations , with access from the Orange Line Sullivan Square or Community College stops or the I-93 expressway .
