Valley Road is a station on MBTA's Ashmont–Mattapan High Speed Line, a branch of the Red Line. The station is located on Valley Road off Eliot Street in Milton, Massachusetts. Valley Road consists of two side platforms which serve the Ashmont–Mattapan High Speed Line's two tracks. The station opened in 1929, as did the rest of the line. It closed on June 24, 2006, for a yearlong renovation of the Ashmont–Mattapan High Speed Line. Valley Road reopened on December 22, 2007, along with the rest of the line. It is currently the only station on the Mattapan-Ashmont High Speed Line that is not handicapped accessible, due to station's only exit location up a set of stairs.
Famous quotes containing the words valley and/or road:
“As I went forth early on a still and frosty morning, the trees looked like airy creatures of darkness caught napping; on this side huddled together, with their gray hairs streaming, in a secluded valley which the sun had not penetrated; on that, hurrying off in Indian file along some watercourse, while the shrubs and grasses, like elves and fairies of the night, sought to hide their diminished heads in the snow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“[T]he temple through which alone lies the road to that of Liberty.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
