Stony Brook
About
Stony Brook is a stop on the MBTA Orange Line in Jamaica Plain, located below street level at Boylston Street. It sits between Jackson Square and Green Street stations. Trains run north through downtown Boston toward Medford and Malden, and south one more stop past Green Street to the Forest Hills terminal, making it a quick link between this part of Jamaica Plain and the rest of the city.
The station opened in 1987 as part of the Southwest Corridor project, when the Orange Line was moved from the old elevated tracks over Washington Street to a new route along the rail corridor. The station takes its name from Stony Brook, a stream that once flowed through the area above ground and now runs underground, out of sight beneath the neighborhood.
