Ashmont Branch and Mattapan Line Track Upgrades
In October 2023, we made major track improvements across the Red Line’s Ashmont Branch and Mattapan Line.
Crews replaced ties and completed full-depth track replacement at several locations along the lines. Replacing this track helped address speed restrictions and bring a smoother ride for passengers.
Rider Benefits
- Safety: New rails, ties, and ballast reduce the risk of unplanned service disruptions
- Reliability: Increase speed for a more consistent schedule
