Anyone who's been to the North Station area before they put the green line underground can tell that it's Causeway Street. The date is somewhat difficult, though. I'm going with the 1930's.

My first quick guess just based on the narrowness of the street is downtown on Washington Street.

I don't think the Atlantic El used those supports anywhere.

I think the Atlantic Ave. El used those types of supports on Beach St. in Chinatown

Thanks for playing, folks! In a surprise move, this is not Atlantic Avenue and its not Washington Street!

A check on Google Street View shows that, amazingly, all the visible buildings are still there today. We're looking east on Beach Street, towards the current site of the Chinatown Gate.
