Central (Red Line) - Boston, MA - The Underground on Waymarking.com

Of all the pre WWII stations on the Red Line, Central is the least altered, retaining many of its original features, including the six name tablets, white on terra-cotta. These were excavated from beneath plaster installed in a 1970s remodeling, and are somewhat worse for the wear, but they are the only name tablets visible on a Red Line platform today. The granite walls around the stairways at street level are gone, though, replaced by low iron fences.

A row of columns with archways overhead and iron fencing separates the paid and unpaid areas, with fare control at the center of the inbound platform and at the west end of the original outbound platform. The platforms were originally about 300 feet long, Both platforms were extended to the west in the 1980s, and now measure about 440 feet.

Is there other puplic transportation in the area?: Yes What level is the station?: Below street level
