Thanks for playing folks! This is the Reservoir Carhouse in Cleveland Circle in 1912

The signage on the car suggests what eventually was last seen as the "A" branch.

Newton HIghlands - I'd say that's what I'd call the Newton Corner area today, as opposed to the Newton Highlands neighborhood and stop along the D branch.

Lake Street - it would pass Lake St on Washington, at Oak Square.

Beacon Street - not that it ran on Beacon, but that it ran to Beacon...

...joining the Subway at Kenmore?

So... the particular location? Oak Square car barn?

There's still a connector along Chestnut Hill Avenue that allows Green Line trains to switch between the C and D lines and the B line. So it's possible that a train could go from Watertown to Reservoir without going all the way inbound to the Kenmore or points East to turn around.
