Remarks: A concept that became the Southwest Corridor extension of the Orange Line in the 1980s through Back Bay Station and the South End has long been on the boards of planners, as shown on this proposed routing of a rapid transit subway beneath Bay Village, Back Bay Station, and New Haven tracks through the South End.
