Glad you’re shooting impromptu footage of these trains. Can’t wait to visit Boston to experience them first hand again!

Fun Fact when you ride the Red Line from Central to Harvard there is an discontinued tunnel underneath Eliot Street. The JFK Park and the Harvard Kennedy School used to be a Maintance facility yard for the Red Line from 1911 to 1981. The tunnel Underneath Eliot Street is abandoned next to the Harvard Bus Tunnel. You can active see this portion of the tunnel on the upper level riding the red line before the curve you can see a outside light and a few pillers.

The Silverbirds are up there with NYC's R32's for longest lasting subway trains.
