I've done some light research on the abandoned tunnel between Boylston Station and the Pleasant Street Incline. I understand this section was for the trolleys to enter the subway system but wasn't used by the subway system itself. Was the lack of ridership because people had to transfer at Boylston or was it really the automobile that did it in? Why didn't the MTA ever consider expanding the subway system down to Egleston and City Point, or at least have the trolley's run further inbound to Scollay Square or something to create a better one stop ride without a Boylston transfer? Also, I assume there was an underground loop near Boylston for the trolleys to turn around?
Who's on first?
