The origin of American Revolution, the Boston Tea Party, broke out in 1773 at Boston Harbor; the first public beach of the Nation, Revere Beach, established in 1896 in Greater Boston; the first subway system in North America, Tremont Street Subway(now is a part of the MBTA Green Line), opened on September 1st, 1897. It is Fortunate that the oldest part of Boston subways is still providing services to Bostonians in nowadays. The entire public transportation system among the Greater Boston has experienced and undergone many stages, re-planning, re-constructions, and modifications. It’s hard to believe in everyday commuting on the T, we are running on the tracks which were served for hundred years.
The history of the public transportation system in Boston can be all the way tracked back to late eighteenth century. The public transportation system composed by many kinds of vehicles: from the very beginning, such as stage coaches and omnibuses; to recent years, trains, buses, and trolleys. Meanwhile, there are many different means of transportation occurred during these periods as well. From underneath the ground, subways, to the higher up, elevated railways. In 1793, a private stagecoach service started running between Cambridge and Boston via the West Boston Bridge, which now called Longfellow Bridge. A Stagecoach is a kind of horse-drawn vehicle provides service to the public. The first transit service in the real sense occurred in 1826, an omnibus line ran between Boston and Cambridge. The real sense transit service indicates that a form of public transportation running on a regularly scheduled basis, and the omnibus is similar to stagecoaches, but it is more like a bus. By 1830, another line was opened ran to Roxbury. These two omnibus lines used the similar routes as the two major subway lines we having now: the Red Line, and the Orange Line. Time flies to the mid-nineteenth century, the public had a great demand on the public transit due to the increased population during that time. The first street car service was running by horses from Harvard Square to Bowdoin Square in 1856. Begun from this time, street railways expanded rapidly in order to fulfill the great demands by the public, and people were prefer horse railways to the omnibus, it is much more comfortable. While the city of Boston were expanding and transforming from a little mercantile city to a larger business center and established connections with the suburbs as bedroom suburbs, the development of street railways faced a difficult situation that other cities didn’t have: the downtown Boston has only two main streets, Tremont Street and Washington Street. All the traffic from Cambridge, Charlestown, South Boston, Dorchester, West End and Roxbury was merged to these two streets like a funnel. This caused the whole system overloaded and made the traffic in downtown area a mess. Number of riders climbed from 50 million by 1860 to 80 million in 1885. Horses were flooded the city.
Later on, more problems became obvious to the transportation thereupon: the horse-drawn street cars were unable to travel long distance neither carry too many passengers. “Horse keeping” was also a big issue. The city considered about eht cable car but it does not feasible on Boston’s winding roads. Only until 1887, the first electric streetcar system experiment by Frank Julian Sprague got successes in Richmond, Virginia. Boston finally found a perfect solution to improve the short-coming situation, and electric street cars quickly take the place on the railroad system. More than 90% railroads were running electric street cars by 1892. The electric street car also called a trolley, which uses an over-head power line to operate; this is a kind of mid-size train we now still using on the Green Line light rail lines. Everything seemed went fine, but did not last long. As the amount of passengers continuously grew, the whole transit system went overcapacity again, and the downtown Boston became a mess for a second time. The city started to think a better solution to deal with the fast growing city. The elevated railroads had taken into account. There were many oppositions argued on the noise and ugliness of elevated railroads, but more and more people were in favor of that because of its breath taking feature: Fast. After many researches by the Legislature, the city finally issued Statutes of 1894, Chapter 548 and several later Acts that authorized Boston Elevated Railway Company to build subways and elevated railways among the City of Boston. Part of these Acts were:
From this point on, a new transportation system just came. The Elevated Railways started to spread all over the city.
The government required in the Stat 1897 Chap 500 the construction of subways in the center of Boston, Cambridge, and a tunnel to East Boston under Boston Harbor. These subways are the predecessors of the Red Line and Green Line in nowadays. Especially the subway in the center of Boston, Tremont Street Subway, constructions begun in 1895 and first section opened on September 1st, 1897, was the first subway in the United States, was the state-of-the-art. The Boston Elevated Railway(BERy) expanded really fast from January 23rd, 1899, the first dig, to 1901, the Mainline and Atlantic Avenue loop went on service. By 1904, the entire BERy system(including street railways, elevated railways, and subways) was mainly covered every corner in Boston. It had more than 421 miles (678 km) of tracks. In 1900, the BERy decided to build a separate tunnel underneath Washington Street in order to relieve the traffic in the Tremont Street underground and opened on November 30th, 1908. In 1903, the authority decided to extend its elevated railway system to Forest Hills and opened on November 22nd, 1909. The Washington Street tunnel and Forest Hills extension were gradually became what we are riding now a part of Orange Line. In the same year as Forest Hills Station opened, the construction of Cambridge Subway begun as well. This long subway across the whole Cambridge is exactly what the Red Line using now. In the later years, the development of rapid transit system was more and more like the miniature of contemporary MBTA rapid transit system.
Changes came to the Boston public transportation again during the following decades in twentieth century. The automobile industry had a great development, thus a new kind of vehicle was in vogue, the bus. The first bus route ran between Central Square and Oak Square in 19223, and it became the route 64 as the MBTA operates nowadays. The convinces and flexibility made Bostonians in favor of buses, and since then, the BERy started to replace trolleys with buses or trackless trolleys. By 1985, only several street railways remaining in service, those routes are basically today’s Green Line branches. During that time, more and more households owned personal automobiles, this caused a great decline on ridership of the public transportation. Street Railways were being removed from streets, and Elevated Railway services were being cutback. Finally in 1960s, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) created and started in charge of rapid transit, bus, commuter boat, and commuter rail among the greater Boston. The layout of public transportation was substantially shaped up by the end of twentieth century:
During late twentieth century and beyond, only small modifications have been made to the MBTA system. The Green Line A Branch replaced by route 57 bus in 1969; and the E branch suspended its service between Heath Street and Forest Hills(Arborway) since December 28th, 1985. In 2002, the Silver Line has introduced to the public. This is a BRT (bus rapid transit) service along Washington St. and sooner extended to Airport and Waterfront.
In recent years, many renovation projects have applied to the system in order to generate a modern public transportation system in twenty-first century. At the same time, some suggestions of extend the service to further places are being considered, like the Green Line E Branch Lechmere extension and the Blue Line Bowdoin extension. The oldest city in the United States is keeping itself advanced with the time. 4/13/2010 So who’s the most Bull Cow Poo?
As you can see from above, Dr. Florian Kaps(call him Doc) holding a photo via the revolutionary IMPOSSIBLE film. Please note: this is for SX-70, and you never noticed that there’s nothing about 600s. No problem if you truly want to put’em in 600s, at most you’ll got a dark result. Here you can see how finicky and fussy the PX-100ASA is:
The thing is, I still don’t see the PX-600ASA production.
Thank Joss, they served croissants and blueberry muffins in this out of water place.
2/3/2010 We have a big party on the top of the hill tonight(everyday?)以下写于2009年11月26日 好像是因为我重新刷系统忘了发出来了：
10/25/2009 请不要违反游戏规则——6度拜访MoMA如果没有遇见你 我将会是在哪里 日子过得怎么样 人生是否要珍惜 也许认识某一人 过着平凡的日子 不知道会不会 也有爱情甜如蜜 任时光匆匆流去 我只在乎你 心甘情愿感染你的气息 人生几何能够得到知己 失去生命的力量也不可惜 所以我求求你 别让我离开你 除了你 我不能感到一丝丝情意
所以我求求你 别让我离开你 除了你我不能感到一丝丝情意。 7/31/2009 用时间来告诉自己是如何的根深蒂固和妈妈的一通争吵 让我想到了过往的日子 想着想着就哭了
2009年7月4日 离开的日子里 到处都充满了你的影子 她们在拥挤的人群里 她们与我擦肩而过 她们远远地走过来 仿佛你就在眼前
5/9/2009 满地都是钉子和地雷
黄小姐撒了一地钉子 陈先生开车经过 压到了钉子 爆胎了 陈先生自认倒霉 也不知道是谁整的一地 旁边商铺的人告诉了坐在副驾的陈先生的孩子:那堆钉子是刚才有一个女的撒的 于是孩子告诉了父亲:爸爸 刚才有个叔叔说 他看到刚才那堆钉子是刚才有个阿姨撒的 而且那个阿姨应该就走到了前面不远 陈先生听到后特别生气 觉得干这件事的人特缺德 准备找人理论去 后来一想算了 我也没什么证据说是人家的钉子 即使是人家的 那我压着了也与她无关算我开车没开对路呀 后来一想也罢 于是就赶紧找换上了备胎 去找能补胎的地方去了 5/6/2009 我需要容器,或许培养皿大家或者说好多人都希望能够把日子定个下来 或者干脆停在从前 我也不例外
有谁会猜到会记得起我经历了什么 该去邮局寄支票了 一个哪儿也不属于的我。 4/19/2009 为了记忆的阻断而安置的活塞体2009年4月9日 差不多都已经忘了为了那么多穿了多少次酸气 但它依然还在那里 阻止住了也只能缓解一时之用 久而久之 复而回绕
CIGE 2009博览会 去年和谢去过 没带相机 于是除了门票就什么也没带回来 这次总算是带了 展商比去年多了 二层也塞满了 但是内容有点不如上次了 少了那些一看就像大作的作品 更多的是现代的 还有恶搞 也可以说是胡来 纯粹的胡来(比如那桶泼了一地的八宝粥)
从相机镜头里看起来效果非常棒 这是一个盒子 透明的 盒子中间有台阶
4/9/2009 与后湾相恋 怎能如此妖娆Definitely regards to Forest Hills of Mass Bay.
It is the transportation center of the streetcar suburbs—an historic link to all commuters for downtown Boston and greater Boston suburbs. Puritan settlers arrived in the 1630s, starting transportation systems by making a toll road from Roxbury to Dedham (Centre Street), and a highway from Isaac Heath's pasture lot by Stony River to Gamblin's End (Amory Street). The streetcar offered an unbroken line of service and created new communities, such as Roslindale. Forest Hills is the center of two transportation lines—the streetcar and railroad, that enabled Jamaica Plain to grow from a rural country village with farms and mills and a summer resort for Bostonians, into a vibrant conglomeration of different communities and ethnic groups. Originally called "Pond Plain," this area includes parks, the only farm in Boston, elegant homes and triple deckers, industries and medical centers.
新功能:点击图片可以放大看 所有的东西都是最旧的 甚至在生活在亚洲国家的人们看来 这样的地铁系统是不能运行的 它的设备过于简陋 车站毫无装修 就像是毛坯房 列车也早已过了该被淘汰的时候了 车厢里的天气会跟随下雨下雪一同变化
第二个家就这样自然而然的安在了这里 虽然没有属于自己的不动产 但我还是把这里当作家
又有特别多美丽的地方 不像纽约那么嘈杂让人不安 又不会像缅因那么荒凉到连火车都不通 我们这该有的都有 不该有的也可能能找得到
总是爱和黑人们抢位置 公交车的最后一排 地铁的最靠里的位置 因为这些位置可以让你为所欲为 各种姿势
这里也仍是个持续发展中的城市 Water Town去年底才刚刚开始修铁路 Green Line地铁的地下站要做翻修大改造 还有很多地方都在一点一点地变 也仍然还有很多地方不尽人意 啦~就是这里 就这样深深地爱上了 2/26/2009 继续追赶记录:2009年1月26日一直对春节没有那么大的感觉 不会因为不在家而倍感思乡之情 也不会觉得有什么异常的情绪 今年很简单 第一次在美国过旧历年 打了几个电话 掉话率很高 没发短信 然后就是和John共度春宵 煮了面 买了酒 上海来的炒花生米 瓜子 幸亏爸爸妈妈还是在一起在北京度过春节的 二老不会太过孤单 特别清楚地记得去年这个时候 除夕零点零分 Arwen的来电 虽然话音早已被炮竹声淹没 但大意还是能猜到的 谢谢当时能让这个电话接通的各个因素 至今仍然特感动 特想念 拍了3张宝丽来 买了一版USPS美国邮政发行的牛年纪念邮票 吃了6顿饭 一瞬间认识了很多叫不上来名字的人 旁观了一场帮派较量 去了很多地方讲了很多话
这就是2009年1月26日 2/17/2009 登峰造极岂止挥金如土立地成佛所能及也2009年1月29日 开头句:我差点没能从华盛顿特区平平安安的回来
凌晨两点半钟被一通电话叫醒 比闹钟早了半个小时 也罢 于是便提早出门 还特意在自动售货机买了一瓶两美元的矿泉水 顶着寒风 走向第七街和E街交错的地方 第A1/2号关卡 等待8个小时后的历史时刻 Inauguration of the 44th President and Vice President of the United State 预先说好的4点打开关卡 结果被延迟到7点钟 实际上9点才正式打开 笔者11点才得以进入安检区内 细节我不想再过多描述 反正主旨是想表达开头句 这个活动对于华盛顿来讲绝对是一场轰轰烈烈的灾难 一点都不夸张 看图说话
华盛顿特区聚集了前所未有的数量的来自全国各地的以及像我这样的来自全球各地的人类 手机会前所未有的全部线路繁忙(并不是报纸上说的什么信号屏蔽) 我才发现原来蜂窝通信网络是这么的落后 人多并不力量大 反倒麻烦 人多的地方打不了电话 接不了电话 和别人没法联系 连911都拨不通 当时我特害怕
让人害怕不是因为天气冷 时间长 而是因为当你站在这个位置的时候你已经别无选择的必须选择和他们一起等待天亮了 即使你再想回去 再想上厕所 各种想放弃 你也没辙 你寸步难行 包括前进和后退 Zephry讲 这还是在安检外 要万一有人从楼顶仍个炸弹下来 那全都玩儿完 谁都跑不了
干这行是最辛苦的 得跟正常人一样排队进入 然后还得扛个大家伙 然后还得可劲儿跟这拍 最重要的是拍完回去老板还不一定满意 满意了也不一定给你播出来
没见过这么着对待自己家退役的老子的
我越来越觉得美国人特爱国
他们不管什么活动都能给你整得跟游园会似的
一架一架的飞机从那飞来飞去 难怪他们有那么多飞机撞大楼事件 活该
很不满意他们前国务卿所说的对中态度 他说曾经有一次中国飞机紧急迫降美属领土的事件 … And when we tying to solving it, they said:"You know, you have to apologize to what happen." And after about 24 hours, I gave the Chinese Department of Military a reply:"We can't apologize, but we are sorry.(全场短暂冷静之后 闷笑) We are sorry, We are sorry, We are sorry for that, and we are sorry for yout pilote, and also we feel sorry for their family. We are sorry." You know that is a simple case. I understanding their needs, and they understanding my needs. 2/10/2009 通告 Anouncement

伦敦的住处问题 它竟然里地铁站有40分钟的徒步路程竟然还有人说一切都安排好了 回家的火车问题 1号的竟然被取消的竟然还有人说早就查询好了 竟然还要花重金买往返票
我恨这些办事没谱的人 他把耽误别人完全不当回事儿 完全没有顾及到对方以及顾客的感受
