subway
Yes It was a underground subway station.
The first attempts to have public transportation were by horse-drawn stagecoaches, as far back as 1793. Eventually, cities moved away from horse-drawn vehicles, and when electrification came along in 1889, Boston had street-cars and trolley cars, which traveled above-ground. In the 1890s, there were also elevated railways. But you may be referring to the subway (called the "underground" in countries like England). Boston had the first subway system, trains that ran beneath the city, in underground tunnels. The subway opened for business in July 1897, and while most of the stations have been updated and the tracks modernized, the subway system is still in use today.
The London Underground began operation in 1863. A group was first formed in the 1850's to build the underground transportation system. The Underground stations were used in World War Two as shelters from German bombing, and many Londoners spend the night in the Underground to survive the bombs.

In response to urban congestion, Boston built the first subway system in the United States, known as the Tremont Street Subway, which opened in 1897. This innovative transportation solution aimed to alleviate traffic congestion on the streets by providing a rapid transit alternative. Following Boston's example, New York City developed its own extensive subway system, which began operation in 1904, further revolutionizing urban transit. These systems laid the groundwork for modern urban public transportation networks.
