Roxbury preschoolers make their own Orange Line
BOSTON - After learning about the MBTA at Horizons early education center in Roxbury, preschoolers were so excited to try a ride on the train, they made their own Orange Line.
After learning about the MBTA our preschoolers wouldn’t stop asking to ride the train. Luckily, they have creative teachers who helped them make their own Orange Line train! Notice the student’s recreation of the MBTA map, we think it’s pretty accurate, what about you? @MBTA pic.twitter.com/OBXBcM88Y0

The children made their own T map and Orange Line train, which they then took for a "ride."
