Boston College (MBTA station)
Boston College station is the western terminus of the MBTA Green Line's B-branch (also known as the "Boston College" line). It is located at St Ignatius Square on the Boston College campus in Brighton, Boston, near the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Lake Street. The current station is planned to be replaced by a new station located in the median of Commonwealth Avenue just east of Lake Street.
==History==
In 1896, the Boston Elevated Railway (BERy) added tracks on newly-constructed Commonwealth Avenue from the Newton town line east to Chestnut Hill Avenue, where they were connected to the existing Beacon Street Line at Cleveland Circle. Except for rights to the Watertown Line inherited from the West End Street Railway, the BERy did not have operating rights in Newton. Instead, the Commonwealth Avenue Street Railway was built west on the wide median of Commonwealth Avenue to Auburndale. The two lines met at Lake Street station on the town line.
BERy cars from Lake Street began running into the Tremont Street Subway via Beacon Street in 1897. In 1900, tracks on Commonwealth Avenue were completed from Chestnut Hill Avenue to Packards Corner, but electrification was not completed until 1909 at which point Lake Street became the terminus of the Commonwealth Avenue line.
The Commonwealth Avenue Street Railway was operated by the Middlesex and Boston Street Railway until it was bustituted in 1930. The station was renamed to Boston College on May 21, 1947 by vote of the Boston Elevated Railway trustees during the building of the Newton campus. Except for occasional service disruptions due to track work or blockages on Commonwealth Avenue, Boston College has been the terminus of the Commonwealth Avenue line ("B" Branch) since 1909.
