Entering Forest Hills.

Main Line (Orange Line) Elevated Car opposite the Arborway, entering Forest Hills Station outbound. Visible in the photo is the curved elevated platform stub which was constructed in 1912 to bring elevated subway cars into the "Shea Yard" in what is now the Arborway yard. The Forest Hills Extension, built between 1906-1909, was an extension of the "Main Line" from what was the end of the line at Dudley Station, by the Boston Elevated Railway Company. (Notice the "flangeless frogs" on the turnout's diverging rails.)
