The classic MBTA Orange Line el through the South End, Roxbury, and Jamaica Plain closed on April 30, 1987, as service switched to the new Southwest Corridor right-of-way. A week before the end, a northbound train rattled along above Washington Street as it made its way downtown. Neighbors were probably tired of the noise but it was a great ride through the city.
