13. Ghost Streetcar Lines
Beneath cities like Boston and Chicago lie long-forgotten tram tunnels and stations. Boston’s Tremont Street Subway, opened in 1897, still houses abandoned platforms and rusted streetcar rails in dimly lit caverns. Concealed stairwells once led commuters to platforms now sealed off by concrete.
Chicago’s early streetcar network included the Chicago Tunnel Company, whose 60-mile maze of narrow-gauge tunnels runs below Loop sidewalks. These passages, once used for delivering coal and parcels, echo with the clang of trolley wheels long silenced. Learn more via Wikipedia.
