Also it is very unlikely that Boston is ever going to get anything looking like those Orange Line stations ever again. It would be nice if they made a replica of one of those stations and put it over one of the highway on/off-ramp parcels on the Greenway to house a restaurant or something.

Thompson Square station was supposed to be saved (perhaps as a restaurant), but unfortunately burned soon after the rest of the El was removed in Charlestown.
