CTA Brown Line El Poster

$30.00 – $80.00

The Brown Line began as the Northwestern Elevated in 1907 and runs from its terminal at Kimball to the Loop and back, making a zig-zag through the northwest section of the city. At the terminal at Kimball trains run at street level with third-rail power which is rare for transit in the US and extremely dangerous for pedestrians. Brown Line trains run local with Red Line trains from Belmont to Fullerton. Recently the stations of the Brown Line were expanded and upgraded to be ADA compliant to deal with rapid population growth on the north side.

Printed on Satin finish 80# cover stock – 220 GSM. Made in the USA! Standard production time is 5 Days. Please add more time for shipping.

MBTA Green Line T Poster

$30.00 – $80.00

The Green Line is part of the oldest subway in the United States. The short section between Boylston St and Park St opened in 1897 as a way to divert heavy trolley traffic which came downtown from Allston, Brighton, Brookline, Jamaica Plane, Roxbury, and Dorchester. It was quickly expanded to North Station to serve trolley traffic from the northern suburbs.

As commuting patterns changed due in part to the success of the subway the Green Line was extended west to Kenmore Sq and in the 1940s southwest along Huntington Ave. As more and more commuters chose to travel in private automobiles ridership on the trolleys dropped. In 1959 the Riverside branch was opened along a former commuter rail line through Newton. A rebranding of the MBTA system in 1967 renamed the branches that were left as the A, B, C, D, and E branches. The A branch to Watertown Sq. only lasted two more years before finally being axed in 1969.

Boston College B Branch trains run along Commonwealth Ave to Government Center; Cleveland Cirlce C Branch trains run along Beacon St to North Station; Riverside D Branch trains run along the Riverside line through Newton to Government Center; Heath St E Branch trains run along Huntington Ave to Lechemere. Construction has begun on a long planned extension northwest through Somerville which will bring the E branch to Union Sq and the D to College Ave-Tufts University.

BART Richmond-Berryessa Line Poster

$30.00 – $80.00

The Bay Area Rapid Transit system (BART) was, along with the WMATA in Washington D.C., one of the great centrally planned post-war rapid transit systems aimed at addressing the rise of the highway and auto-centric suburbs after World War II in the United States. Planning began in the 1950s for a unified high speed rail system that would serve both the dense inner cities of San Francisco and Oakland and their newly expanding low-rise suburbs. Stations would be spaced closer in the central business districts and further out in the suburbs.

Originally planned to connect Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo counties BART was scaled back when San Mateo dropped out in favor of commuter rail service and the Marin line was dropped due to engineering concerns about running a rail line over the Golden Gate Bridge. Construction began in 1964 and the initial segments began to come online in 1972 and the majority of the system opening by 1974.

The Richmond-Warm Springs Line, also known as the East Bay Line, is the only line that does not enter San Francisco running from Richmond in the north through Oakland to Fremont in the south. Like most BART lines the Richmond-Fremont Line shares its tracks with other BART lines: the Richmond-Millbrae Line, the Pittsburg/Bay Point–SFO/Millbrae Line, the Fremont–Daly City Line, and the Dublin/Pleasanton–Daly City Line.
The Richmond–Fremont Line was the first of BART’s five lines to open. Service from MacArthur to Fremont began on September 11, 1972, the first day of BART operation and was extended to Richmond on January 29, 1973.
Construction has begun on a southern extension to San Jose; the first phase to Warm Springs/South Fremont opened in 2017 with the second phase to Milpitas and Berryessa opening in 2020.
