"The Charlestown EL - Animated".
01100's on the old northern end of Boston's MBTA Orange Line (MTA Main Line) from the tunnel portal near Haymarket Sq. to Sullivan Sq. Station (1909-1975), and the Mystic River Elevated from Sullivan to Everett Station (1919-1975).
Shown in the era of the early 1970's up to the point of the lines' closing- Friday April 4, 1975.
Animated, Illustrated.
Thanks so much! I re-created as many details as I could by use of reference photos and memory. A trip like this could only have been seen again in this way if someone like me took the time to create it, so, I was glad to do it, for myself and for others.
Nicely done. It's exactly the way I remember it.
1:48 For Those Of You That Are Curious, The Other Sections Of Elevated We're From The Old Atlantic Av EL. And Was Disconnected In The Early 40's, To Bad The EL Is Gone. All Of Us Bostonians Will Remember And Treasure You Forever :'-(
Jarek Alexander I'm with you give us our el back
they just discussed it as a plan for an orange line branch or yellow line :)
What a beautiful, charming video. All the little details really make this special.
Thank you. Almost everything shown I drew by hand back then.. these days, I guess no one has to anymore.. I-phones do everything I suppose.. Even in 2011, I still thought that hands-on artists still mattered..
I love the el. I like the orange line
I enjoyed this immensely. Thank you so much for putting it together!
@hkfreak - Not haze and pollution, no. I design my old Boston movies by my memories, and for the ones I've made, they were in the late fall or in the winter. Usually set on weekends; Saturday or Sunday afternoons and into the night, as I roamed the city of Boston on the lines. I try to re-capture the mood of desolation that I remember experiencing in those years- 1973-1975.
R.i.p. Orange line EL

@lspin02151 - Thank you, glad to hear that -)
i wish everett station was till around...wellington doesn't count
@hkfreak - .. and thanks for the comment too, I appreciate that.
Yes.. Prince macaroni, Pastene crushed tomatoes and a jug of chianti.
And.. a pot of water boiling on the stove! -)
Beautiful nostalgia. I'd have to admit, in pretty much most of your "back-to-the-past" animations depict a cloud-groomed, haze-polluted Boston. Was it truly always like that?
This reminds me of the animated shorts that would be shown on PBS in between shows, every once in a while.
That was cool!!! I loved it!!!
Really Cool
Thank you -)
Thank you..
