Glad to see the the new Airpourt Station is opened up now, that one and the NYCT (JFK Airpourt) one are now alike, except NYCT's station is a bit bigger.

how old is the above ground section of the Blue Line?Maverick to Suffolk Downs opened in 1952, and the remainder to Wonderland in 1954.

Aside from being slightly shabby looking, it seems to still be in pretty good condition overall. And I do love the Art Deco lettering on the facade.The station is practicaly falling apart, and it can only fit about 5.5 cars

Does he even have any idea how bad the old station was?I can't speak from a railfan's perspective, but when I went through it for the first time when I flew out of Logan in October 99 I thought the place was a dump.
