Arborway

Description

Arborway was a light rail stop and bus transfer location on the MBTA Green Line "E" Branch, located in Arborway Yard near the Forest Hills station complex. It closed in 1985 when the outer section of the branch was temporarily—and ultimately permanently—closed.HistoryArborway station was located in the Arborway Yard complex, which housed trolleys and trackless trolleys for a number of different lines including the Arborway Line . Arborway closed on December 28, 1985 when the line was "temporarily" suspended and ultimately closed. The Arborway carhouse remained until 2000 when it was demolished and replaced by a smaller facility for CNG buses.When Forest Hills station was rebuilt in 1987, a loop for the "E" Branch was built as part of the station complex, so that Arborway would only be used for layovers and maintenance. New station signs were built with the station name designated as Forest Hills in a green color instead of Arborway. The station also featured 2 small waiting shelters with maps and signage.No trolley ever used the station, which was instead used for route 39 buses which terminate at the station. A lawsuit mandating the return of service was defeated in court in January 2011, nullifying plans to restore service. The loop was scheduled to be removed as part of the Casey Overpass replacement; any future return of service would use the expanded upper busway on Washington Street.
