As conceived, there would be two corridors through which elevated trains would run: the Washington Street tunnel – the heart of today's <a href="/wiki/Orange_Line_(MBTA)" title="Orange Line (MBTA)">MBTA Orange Line</a> subway – under Washington Street from a portal at Oak Street to <a href="/wiki/Canal_Street_incline" title="Canal Street incline">the then-existing subway portal north of Haymarket Square</a>, and an all-elevated line which would run along <a href="/wiki/Atlantic_Avenue_(Boston)" title="Atlantic Avenue (Boston)">Atlantic Avenue</a>. At the time, Atlantic Avenue was the heart of the fishing and maritime industries in Boston, and home to ferry terminals. Both the Washington Street subway and Atlantic Avenue El would service trains from the Main Line El (the elevated section of the old Orange Line, now demolished). </p><p>When the Atlantic Avenue El first opened – shortly after the Main Line itself – in August 1901,<sup id="cite_ref-netransit_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-netransit-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the Main Line went through the Tremont Street subway, changing between elevated and <a href="/wiki/Rapid_transit" title="Rapid transit">subway</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Pleasant_Street_incline" title="Pleasant Street incline">Pleasant Street incline</a> (in the south) and the <a href="/wiki/Canal_Street_incline" title="Canal Street incline">Canal Street incline</a> (in the north). The low-level trolley platforms were altered with temporary high-level platforms to allow elevated trains to unload passengers. Where the original <a href="/wiki/Washington_Street_Elevated" title="Washington Street Elevated">Washington Street Elevated</a> (the south part of the Main Line) turned west from <a href="/wiki/Washington_Street_(Boston)" title="Washington Street (Boston)">Washington Street</a> onto Castle Street (now Herald Street), it had a full three-way junction (Tower D) with the Atlantic Avenue El, which began by heading east between Motte Street (also part of Herald Street) and the <a href="/wiki/New_York,_New_Haven_and_Hartford_Railroad" title="New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad">New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad</a>'s approach tracks for <a href="/wiki/South_Station" title="South Station">South Station</a>. </p><p>The El turned north after a block onto Harrison Avenue, continuing to Beach Street, where it turned east for its first station, Beach Street, on the block just east of Harrison Avenue. The El turned north on Atlantic Avenue, with its second station, South Station, located just north of East Street, with transfers to the South Station intercity and commuter terminal, and, beginning in 1916, to the Cambridge–Dorchester tunnel (now the <a href="/wiki/Red_Line_(MBTA)" title="Red Line (MBTA)">Red Line</a>). Next was Rowes Wharf, at Broad Street and High Street, with a transfer to the <a href="/wiki/Boston,_Revere_Beach_and_Lynn_Railroad" title="Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad">Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad</a> via a <a href="/wiki/Ferry" title="Ferry">ferry</a> from <a href="/wiki/Rowes_Wharf" title="Rowes Wharf">Rowes Wharf</a> to <a href="/wiki/East_Boston" title="East Boston">East Boston</a>. </p><p>Continuing along Atlantic Avenue, the next station, at State Street, was named State Street, and had, beginning in 1904, a transfer to the East Boston tunnel (now the <a href="/wiki/Blue_Line_(MBTA)" title="Blue Line (MBTA)">Blue Line</a>). After merging with Commercial Street, Battery Street Station, just north of Battery Street, provided access to Boston's <a href="/wiki/North_End_(Boston)" class="mw-redirect" title="North End (Boston)">North End</a>. Just south of Battery Street, on the east side, was the <a href="/wiki/Boston_Elevated_Railway" title="Boston Elevated Railway">Boston Elevated Railway</a>'s Lincoln Wharf Power Station. At Keany Square, the Atlantic Avenue Elevated met the <a href="/wiki/Charlestown_Elevated" title="Charlestown Elevated">Charlestown Elevated</a>, the north part of the Main Line, at a full three-way junction (Tower C), with the Charlestown El heading west on Causeway Street and into the subway, on the one hand, and north over the <a href="/wiki/Charlestown_Bridge" title="Charlestown Bridge">Charlestown Bridge</a>, on the other. The <a href="/wiki/Union_Freight_Railroad" title="Union Freight Railroad">Union Freight Railroad</a> ran underneath the El on Atlantic Avenue and Commercial Street, carrying freight between the lines terminating in <a href="/wiki/North_Station" title="North Station">North Station</a> and South Station. </p><p>In 1908, the <a href="/wiki/Washington_Street_tunnel_(Boston)" class="mw-redirect" title="Washington Street tunnel (Boston)">Washington Street tunnel</a> opened, rerouting the Main Line. At this time, the Tremont Street subway was switched back to streetcar-only service. As a consequence, the southern junction (Tower D) was reconfigured, with the Main Line heading north from it on the east side of Washington Street to the Oak Street incline into the tunnel. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Decline">Decline</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Atlantic_Avenue_Elevated&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Decline"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:1942_Demolition.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/1942_Demolition.jpg/220px-1942_Demolition.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="151" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/1942_Demolition.jpg/330px-1942_Demolition.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/1942_Demolition.jpg/440px-1942_Demolition.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3336" data-file-height="2296" /></a><figcaption>War-inspired slogan regarding the 1942 demolition</figcaption></figure> <p>Service patterns originally included through service over the Main Line and additional <a href="/wiki/Washington_Street_Elevated" title="Washington Street Elevated">Washington Street Elevated</a> service looping via the tunnel one way and the El the other way.
