So, I walked here from Capen Street<\/a>, and the walk itself isn’t too bad. Certainly, I did worse on this journey. But, that’s not the worst part of this. Let’s look at the station itself. Hopefully you’re not in need of accessibility because there’s none here.<\/strong> Yep! This station is an ADA violation! WOOHOO!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No ramp here!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That’s it. The only way down.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you go down, it’s the same stuff as before. You have a shelter on the inbound side, benches, countdown clocks, but this time there’s no mini-high and you instead get a view of the Neponset River. Yeah, sorry. At least, as a fun aside, this is the 2nd-least used station on the entire MBTA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good: It’s peaceful, like Capen St.! Furthermore, you got views of the Neponset River!

The bad: It’s not accessible. Yeah, this is major, however with ridership as low as it is, it probably doesn’t matter much.

Nearby points of interest: Parks?

Transit connections:
Mattapan Line

Yeah, not a lot to say about this station. Sorry! Either way, probably the highest-scoring inaccessible station on this entire blog.
