MBTA - Charles/MGH Station

Story

Charles/MGH is a rapid transit station on the MBTA Red Line, elevated above Charles Circle on the south end of the Longfellow Bridge in the West End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.The station is one of a small number of elevated rapid transit stations remaining in the MBTA system. (The only others are Beachmont, Science Park, Malden Center, Wollaston, and Fields Corner; Lechmere will also become an elevated station as part of the Green Line Extension.) Boston once had several elevated lines, but the Atlantic Avenue Elevated, Charlestown Elevated, Washington Street Elevated, and Causeway Street Elevated were all torn down in favor of subway and surface-level lines.Charles/MGH is one of a small number of MBTA rapid transit stations with no MBTA Bus connections. It is fully handicapped accessible after a 2007 reconstruction.
