Orient Heights station is on the part of the Blue Line in East Boston, MA that uses overhead catenary instead of third rail. Orient Heights is one of the few Blue Line stations in East Boston that has not been rebuilt; nevertheless, its two platforms sit on either side of two central tracks and are connected by a mezzanine walkway to facilitate changing directions without paying an extra fare.
Orient Heights Yard, the main Blue Line yard, is (as the name suggests) close by.
