The
Tremont Street Subway is a tunnel in Boston's
Rapid transit system, and is the oldest subway tunnel in North America, opening on
September 1 1897. It was originally built as a tunnel to get streetcar lines off the streets, rather than a rapid transit line. It now forms the central part of the Green Line (MBTA), connecting the
Park Street (MBTA station) station to Government Center (MBTA station).
The tunnel originally serviced stations at Park Street,
Scollay Square, and
Adams Square (MBTA station). The latter two stations were substantially altered when Government Center, Boston, Massachusetts and Boston City Hall replaced Scollay Square and Adams Square in 1963. Adams Square was closed altogether, and Scollay Square station was completely renovated and altered, and the northbound tunnel to
Haymarket (MBTA station) was rerouted, though the southbound tunnel is stil original. The original entrances were in the Public Gardens, at North Station/Canal Street, and at Pleasant Street. The Pleasant Street tunnel still exists As of 2006, but is disused and the
Pleasant Street Incline is sealed. The other portals have been closed as the line has been further extended.
From its inception, the subway used
tram powered by
electricity from overhead lines, made possible by the invention of the
trolley pole in
1880 by
Frank J. Sprague. However, the modern line has been pantograph (rail)-only since the trolley wires were removed in the
1990s.
The Tremont Street Subway is now a National Historic Landmark.
The original owner was the private Boston Elevated Railway, later the Boston Elevated Railway. Public ownership began in 1947 with the Metropolitan Transit Authority, later reconstituted as the modern Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.
