【MBTA GLX】Medford/Tufts to Clevland Circle - E & C Branch Front View Timed Lapse POV

Music: Jingle Bell Rock - Bond Sunchyme - Dario G #MBTA #GLX #Subway #Rail #POV #Boston This video is recorded for the celebration of the grand opening of GLX Medford Branch on 12/12/2022, while recording the remaining C Branch left unfilmed. MBTA Green Line is the first city railway line opened in North America. In 1897, the first section from Park Street to Boylston opened to alleviate the traffic of the city. The line then extended in both directions for several time, and eventually formed the B, C, D, E branch (A branch replaced by Route 57) travelling to different west-bound destinations, with the other side ending at Lechmere station in Cambridge. The Green Line extension project accomplished its first step by closing the original Lechmere Station in the May of 2020, abandoned a section of the older track, and built new routes and stations since then, enabling trains to carry passengers to places further north. On March 21st, 2022, the Union Square Branch opened with a brand-new Lechmere Station and Union Square Station next to the track of Commuter Rail Fitchburg Line. Then on December 12th, the Medford Branch opened alongside the Commuter Rail Lowell Line, extending north-west to East Somerville, Gilman Square, Magoun Square, Ball Square, and Tufts University. On both days, crowds of citizens, railfans, and television media workers gathered to celebrate the "one step forward" that MBTA, as well as the city of Boston, has accomplished. There are currently 3 types of trolleys running on the MBTA Green Line: Type 7 (Kinki Sharyo, 1986-1988), Type 8 (Hitachi, 1998-2007), and Type 9 (CAF, 2018-2020). While Type 9s are entering both branches, they are running on the D Branch instead of the E, due to lacking of a stop sign for the street-running section. This E Branch is recorded on Type 8 #3802, which is the last train that left the original Lechmere Station, while the C Branch is recorded on a Type 7. The faces MBTA employees aren’t included in this video. Thank you for watching!
