Orange Line Past

A particularly obscure question: Does anyone remember whether Oak Grove station was built with elevators, or if they were added later? I believe they're original, but I'm having trouble proving that.

I own a copy of the March 1977 Opening dedication.
Pg 5 states - "Oak Grove is the first new station with an elevator for the use of the handicapped..."

Thank you!!

Let me know if you need me to scan the page for you. I think I still have your email lol

Just wanted to share three opening day brochures published for each of the following stations I scanned from my collection.

Wellington - 1975 - https://archive.org/details/mbta-medford-sept-1975
Malden 1975 - https://archive.org/details/mbta-malden-center-1975
Oak Grove 1977 - https://archive.org/details/oak-grove-s ... march-1977

Thank you,

Hello all,

Despite a 1986 publication date, the map on page 7 has the new Southwest Corridor Subway.

Was similar literature published for the Southwest Corridor Subway?

The following year, 1987, they produced this. https://archive.org/details/the-new-ora ... e/mode/2up

It's all I have seen so far.

Any idea if any of the Orange line trains being replaced be preserved at Seashore or otherwise?

Yes, Seashore is looking at getting a pair of 01200s.
