Fenway is a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line "D" Branch, located under Park Drive near the Riverway in the Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It opened along with the rest of the D Branch on July 4, 1959, when trolleys replaced Highland Branch commuter rail service. The station is fully handicapped accessible from Park Drive via the Landmark Center parking lot as well as from Miner Street.Named after the Fenway parkway rather than Fenway Park, it is not the nearest station to the stadium—Yawkey commuter rail and Kenmore Green Line station are closer. Nevertheless, it is heavily used during Red Sox home games and other Fenway Park events.HistoryThe Boston and Worcester Railroad opened a 1.4mile branch from Brookline Junction to Brookline on April 10, 1848. The Charles River Branch Railroad extended the Brookline Branch to Newton Upper Falls in November 1852 and to Needham in June 1853, keeping the original B&W station for its service.
