Heath Street station

Heath Street is an MBTA transit station in Boston, Massachusetts. It is the terminus of the Green Line "E" Branch. It is located at the intersection of South Huntington Avenue and Heath Street on the border between the Mission Hill and Jamaica Plain neighborhoods. The station is accessible when served by the MBTA's newer low-floor trolley cars and buses.

Heath Street station was built as a turnback for the Arborway Line in 1945. The new PCC streetcars needed a loop to turn around, so the existing crossover at Francis Street could not be used. Until 1961, service on Huntington Avenue consisted of a Heath Street–North Station line and a Arborway–Park Street line. The Heath Street line was discontinued on September 11, 1961. Peak-hour service to the loop resumed on December 26, 1964; for a period in 1966, every other train on Huntington Avenue short-turned at the loop. Heath Street was the terminus of all weekday service for three periods in 1977-78 due to streetcar shortages and track work.
