Current revision
The Ashmont-Mattapan High Speed Line (or Mattapan-Ashmont Line, or just the M Line) is considered part of the MBTA's Red Line, even though it uses different equipment (trolleys) and passengers have to change at Ashmont. It is the only MBTA line to run through a cemetery. In 2005, it was announced that with the remodeling of Ashmont station, the line would be shut down and replaced by bus service temporarily beginning on June 3, 2006.
