No, this is a street. At left, an elevated section of metro or elevated train over the road. Under the track, streetcars are running. At right there is a stair that looks like an access to an station.

Thanks tgva325 for your sharp observation of the scene. We'll fix the title in the source data and reload the description.

I do not think this is Boston. As far as I know, there have only been a couple old elevated streetcar lines, and I do not recall any of them looking like this. The second paragraph on the link below indicates that this picture may well have been taken in Sioux City:

As far as I can see, the streetcars are running UNDER the bridge, which is for an elevated electric train, like those in New York, Chicago and Boston. Sioux City elevated railway was closed in 1899 and as far as I know, it hadn´t streetcars tracks under it.

It could certainly be Boston. The sign in the upper right references the Boston Candy Store. Also, there were elevated railways in Boston beyond just the portion of the Green and Red Lines that remain above ground and elevated. What's now the Orange Line was at one point elevated, too. The Essex Street station was a copper-clad building, now preserved at the Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine. It would be interesting to see if the steel girders matched the preserved station.

That said, if this is Boston, it's most likely near North Station.
