A diagram of alternative service options for the upcoming Orange Line shutdown. The Orange Line is illustrated as a horizontal line between Forest Hills (left) and North Station (right). A dotted line connects all Orange Line stations between Forest Hills and Back Bay (in the center), then cuts diagonally up and across the diagram to connect to Copley station on the Green Line, which runs parallel to the Orange Line between Back Bay and North Station. A third purple line runs parallel to the Orange Line and extends of the left edge of the diagram, representing commuter rail service that connects Forest Hills, Ruggles, and Back Bay stations. The segment of the Orange Line between Back Bay and North Station is faded to indicate that this segment will also be closed on the long weekend of Oct. 12-14.
