MBTA Orange Line's 111th anniversary

MBTA officials installed surveillance cameras across its lines, which included tripling the number at two Orange Line stations. Forest Hills Station quadrupled its camera count by adding 58 cameras, some installed in the bus-ways and some in the yard where subway trains are kept when not in use. The station, which serves as a commuter rail stop as well as the Orange Line’s terminus, now has 77 cameras total. Jackson Square Station, near where Jamaica Plain and Roxbury meet, has also added 11 cameras and now contains a total of 15.
