Editing Transportation in Boston (section)

====Elevated sections====
Despite the first rapid transit segment being built underground, many later parts were built as [[elevated railway]]s.{{dubious|this implies a major separation in time; the first elevated was only 4 years later|date=January 2016}} A century later, most of these elevated railway sections have been replaced by [[Cut (earthmoving)|cut]] or tunnel routing.  The only remaining classic elevated structures are the [[Green Line (MBTA)|Green Line]]'s [[Lechmere Viaduct]], including the [[Science Park (MBTA station)|Science Park]] and [[Lechmere station|Lechmere]] stations, and a short segment of the [[Red Line (MBTA)|Red Line]] at [[Charles-MGH (MBTA station)|Charles-MGH]], connecting the tunnel under [[Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts|Beacon Hill]] to the [[Longfellow Bridge]].

The [[Boston Elevated Railway]] was the company that owned all the elevateds and subways. The following Els once existed:
*[[Causeway Street Elevated]] (closed 2004), from the [[Haymarket Incline]] to the [[Lechmere Viaduct]]
*[[Washington Street Elevated]] (closed 1987), from [[Forest Hills (MBTA station)|Forest Hills]] to an incline north of the [[Masspike]]
*[[Charlestown Elevated]] (closed April 4, 1975), from the [[Haymarket Incline]] to [[Everett, Massachusetts|Everett]]
*[[Atlantic Avenue Elevated]] (closed 1938), from the Washington Street El at the [[Castle Street Wye]] at Herald Street (Tower 'D') to the Charlestown El and Causeway Street El at [[North Station]] (Tower 'C')
