MARTA Subway Stations - Atlanta
By my count, there are 14 MARTA stations that are subway (below ground).

There is another stop in the basement of the parking ramp at the Mall of America which allows people with long layovers at MSP to go shopping there pretty easily. It isn't an underground station but it kind of feels like it: http://subwaynut.com/minneapolis/mal...ofamerica2.jpg It is actually the only cool thing about the Mall. |

Don't forget Camden, NJ. Both the City Hall and Broadway Stations of the PATCO Speedline are underground there.
|
Dallas and Portland each only have one underground station. In Dallas it's the City Place station in Uptown and in Portland it's the Washington Park station west of downtown. Dallas had one other planned underground station at Knox-Henderson that was partially built but never opened because of NIMBY 's.

Great list. And I'm glad the condition of "ligh rail or heavy" was left out. It's an irrelevant point because some LRT subway stations are just as intensive....sometimes even more intensive than heavy rail. The rolling stock and speed has nothing do with whether a transit line has a station underground.

America left St. Louis to die, and we fuckin' got some shit done.

Miami is also mostly all elevated. Parts of BART in the Bay Area are elevated. Las Vegas has an elevated monorail line. I don't think we should count Seattle's one monorail link, but I guess you could, and as the Seattle light rail approaches SeaTac, it's elevated. Philly has some elevated sections, like the Market-Frankford Line. Atlanta's MARTA is definitely elevated in places. Some of St. Louis' MetroLink runs elevated. All of those are elevated at least in parts on either steel or concrete pillars and not only on embankments. |
PATCO in Philly has is elevated through most of Jersey. for such a short line it has everything... elevated, subway, a trench, and on a bridge.

In Boston, the Redline has a short elevated section at Charles/MGH. The Orange line has a viaduct as it goes through Charleston. The Greenline has the Lechmere viaduct, which is in the process of being lengthened now. I'm not that familiar with the Blue line, so i can't say if it has any elevated sections.
Le brew, sounds like you would have loved riding the old Washington Street Orange line el, but that was torn down decades ago. |

I hope light rail will be replaced with a new thing that's elevated and cheap
|
BART has 23 miles of elevated rail and 13 elevated rail stations.
