Underground Waterway was what the Boylston-Essex MTA station looked like yesterday after a water main broke at Boylston and Washington streets, cascading a flood which ripped up pavement, flooded cellars and swirled down the steps to the subway station. The MTA was prepared to shut off the power on its Everett-Forest Hills line, but the flow diminished and finally stopped before reaching the third rail. An emergency exit was opened on LaGrange street for MTA passengers. Above ground, Washington street was a virtual river between Boylston and Kneeland streets. Traffic was tied up about an hour.
