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:
“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Future contingents cannot be certain to us, because we know them as such. They can be certain only to God whose understanding is in eternity above time. Just as a man going along a road does not see those who come after him; but the man who sees the whole road from a height sees all those who are going along the road at the same time.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
