State Station connects to the Blue Line, making it one of the few downtown Boston stops where the two lines meet. The station sits beneath State and Devonshire streets, serving the Financial District and buildings near the Old State House. It occupies part of the Washington Street Tunnel, which opened in 1915 as one of the earliest segments of Boston's rapid transit system. Orange Line trains here run between Oak Grove and Forest Hills, connecting the North Shore commuter routes to Boston's southern neighborhoods.
