MBTA Red Line's 100th anniversary

Mrs. Mary Collett of Revere Street in Cambridge was the first in line on March 23, 1912. Three trains were brought to the station at 5:10 a.m., but a fourth was added when officials saw the size of the crowd. Passengers were allowed into the station at 5:20 a.m. The Harvard Square entrance kiosk is pictured in 1912 where the Out of Town News store currently stands.
