Correct. It will be street level at School Street.
Does anyone know when the extension will start to appear on maps? I remember the Assembly stop was shown as "Opening Fall 2014" or something while it was under construction. Will they show the extension as under construction on maps before it opens, I wonder?
A single station? Why would they go through all the effort of just putting one station on the map for the time being when they'll just have to add the rest by the end of the year anyways?I think the station is already listed on the new OL trains. Not sure about the old ones.

I think it was already Q&A'd at some prior GLX meetings that they have a sticker design ready for the last 2-4 generations of officially-versioned spider maps where the sticker would be seamlessly affixed off Lechmere. Therefore there's no need to jump the gun with a "coming attractions" 'tweener map re-release when the in-situ ones in largest share of the map frame slots can be restickered at-will very close to the opening date with a straightforward new 'active' appendage off Lechmere.
How do they transport the ribbon rail that length? Was it by train?
I would also make the case that adding "under construction" stops to that end of the GL since they're already shuttling passengers between N. Station and Lechmere while they work on the viaduct is unhelpful and potentially confusing.
Or Brickbottom. Lots and lots of flatbed deliveries, though theoretically a shove up Riverside Jct. from the Worcester Line can do the job. In most cases replacement rapid transit welded rail comes in max 200 ft. ribbon chunks and more onsite welding is required for the installation to net an 800 ft. length. You simply can't turn a rail train longer than 200 through some of the curves.Where do they bring that lash-up onto the property? Riverside?
why would they be replacing the rail on the CR side after just relocating those tracks?1/4 mile lengths of ribbon rail...definitely for the CR side.
