Where am I? The photo contest

The hatch over the emergency stairs from the west end of the Park Street Red Line platforms?
 
Exchange Place indeed. It looked like the entrance to some early 1980s mall or convention center when flipped on its side like that.
 
Wow, I had no idea. I thought there were doors to the left or something. I think I understand what I'm looking at now, haha. So "straight ahead" is actually looking straight up?
 
The Nick DeWolf photo collection on flickr is amazing. I just spent three hours looking through all the 'Boston' tagged photos.

(The photographer seems to be touchy about reproductions of his work, etc., so please check them out on flickr, too.)

I can't place these two. The first says "Atlantic Buildings" and is taken from an on-ramp or somewhere else on a highway. Is this on the Central Artery going along Atlantic Ave?

This photo is of a train station. It doesn't look like Boston, to me, but then you can see a sign toward the top, "YWCA" and if you look at this building it might be the YWCA building on Clarendon Street. So where was / is this station?

Ron, thanks so much for the info. I checked out the link on Railroad.net and found out that, yes, it's an old train station. It's the Trinity Place train station, owned by the Boston & Albany rail company. It was on that site from 1900-1964. It was right next to the Back Bay station on that side of Stuart Street. It handled out-going traffic, only. Another station up Huntington Ave handled in-coming traffic. The location would put it right about where the Wainwright Bank branch is located, below the 100 Clarendon garage.

From a 1938 map:
