History

The

Waverley, Belmont, and Hill Crossing came later.^[3]

In 1952, the B&M abandoned the duplicate Central Mass tracks during a grade separation project at Waverley. After the track consolidation, the Central Mass Branch diverged from the Fitchburg mainline just west of Clematis Brook. By the time the

MBTA began subsidizing service in 1965, Clematis Brook was no longer served by the single Central Mass Branch round trip (which was discontinued in 1971).^[1] Like nearby Beaver Brook station, Clematis Brook was only served by a handful of rush hour trips. The two stations were closed in June 1978, along with Winchester Highlands station on the Lowell Line, due to poor ridership.^[1]

No remains of the station are present.
