[1] Originally, the line in East Boston was built for industrial usage by the Grand Junction Railroad and Depot Company.

At points, the Greenway parallels the tracks of the former Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad, now the MBTA's Blue Line.

[3] The Greenway passes through Bremen Street Park, where there is an entrance to the Blue Line Airport Station.

A branch off of the Greenway leads to the East Boston Memorial Stadium and to the Logan Airport Rental Car Center, where there is also bicycle parking.

Off of Bremen Street, the East Boston YMCA is located at the former engine house for the line, and was constructed in 1909.
