Bowdoin Station Elevator, Blue Line.

An elevator entrance at Bowdoin station, the downtown terminal of Boston’s Blue Line. Bowdoin Station opened in 1916 as part of the East Boston Tunnel, one of the earliest underwater rapid-transit tunnels in North America. The station is notable for its compact footprint, tight curves, and historically limited accessibility compared to newer MBTA stations.
