Haverhill/Reading Line

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The Haverhill/Reading Line is a branch of the MBTA Commuter Rail system, running north from downtown Boston, Massachusetts through the city/towns of Malden, Melrose, Wakefield, Reading, Wilmington, Andover, Lawrence, and Haverhill.

The station stops from North Station are: Malden Center, Wyoming Hill, Melrose/Cedar Park, Melrose Highlands, Greenwood, Wakefield, Reading, North Wilmington, Ballardvale, Andover, Lawrence, Bradford, and Haverhill.

A station stop also exists at Oak Grove in Malden, but this stop is only used when the Orange Line rapid transit service is disrupted.

The line was purchased by the MBTA from the Boston and Maine Railroad in 1973. The route to Reading was intended to be used as an extension of the Orange Line, and commuter service past there would operate as a branch off of the Lowell Line, using a bypass route. However, these plans were derailed due to opposition in the towns along the line, most notably in Melrose.
