Summit Avenue is a station on the MBTA Green Line "C" Branch in Brookline, Massachusetts. The station used to be called Winchester Street, and system maps on some MBTA stations that have not been updated still show this name. The station is located on Beacon Street at Summit Avenue. Summit Avenue consists of two side platforms which serve the "C" Branch's two tracks. The travel time from the station to Park Street is 25 minutes.
There was a Summit Avenue stop on the "B" Branch as well, which was closed in 2005 to speed travel time.
Famous quotes containing the words summit and/or avenue:
“What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
That beetles o’er his base into the sea,
And there assume some other horrible form
Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason,
And draw you into madness?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Along the avenue of cypresses,
All in their scarlet cloaks and surplices
Of linen, go the chanting choristers,
The priests in gold and black, the villagers. . . .”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
