Inside Boston's Forgotten Subway Tunnel, Rusted Tracks and Cold War Crackers
Beneath the streets of Boston sits a tunnel that hasn't carried a passenger since the 1960s, but still holds the rusted tracks, ventilation fans and switch box from when it helped launch the nation's first subway system.

DOVER — The Broadway railroad bridge is so notorious for trucks getting stuck underneath, it has been called "the can opener" by some locals and is now featured on a T-shirt. There have been 10 truck strikes at the bridge so far in 2026, according to Dover police Capt. Mark Nadeau. There were six bridge strikes in 2025, seven in 2024 and nine in 2023. Foster's has reported for many years on strikes at the bridge, which was built in 1901.

"When it hits the bridge, it kind of sounds like the train ... like a bang of like cargo stopping. It kind of shakes the building. ... We go outside and then we see something hit the bridge." Dirusso said it's usually U-Hauls that hit the bridge, often operated by drivers unaware of the height of the truck they rented. Dirusso said the pizzeria staff hear trucks backing up all day because many truck drivers turn around to avoid getting stuck. Nadeau said this year’s bridge strikes include three U-Haul box trucks, one U.S. Postal

The creation of new traffic patterns at the Overlook Ridge development on the Revere-Malden line have been decades in the making.
