Beaver Brook is a former station on the MBTA Commuter Rail Fitchburg Line, located near Main Street east of the center of Waltham, Massachusetts. The station was named after a nearby brook of the same name. It was closed in June 1978 along with Clematis Brook on the Fitchburg Line and Winchester Highlands on the Lowell Line. All three stops served only rush hour trains at the time of their closing.^[1] The station building is no longer extant, but a short section of platform remains.
