MBTA Red Line's 100th anniversary

“The Red Line tied two heavy ends together, providing a means for people from very different and disparate parts of the city to get into the city center,’’ said Bradley H. Clarke, president of the Boston Street Railway Association. The Red Line, he said, has had fewer accidents and derailments than any other line on the MBTA, he said. When it comes to rapid transit, he said, the Red Line is a workhorse, not a show horse.
