Pleasant Street functioned as a station on the Boston Elevated Railway (BERy), situated just beyond the Pleasant Street incline at the southern extremity of the Tremont Street subway in central Boston, Massachusetts. It commenced operations in June 1901 alongside the Main Line Elevated (Main Line El), accommodating elevated trains until 1908. During this period, it temporarily substituted for streetcar service passing through the Pleasant Street Incline, which was redirected to the El's southern terminus at . Following the inauguration of the Washington Street Tunnel in 1908, elevated trains were rerouted via the tunnel, resulting in the closure of Pleasant Street station. Although streetcar service through the incline resumed immediately afterward, it no longer made stops at Pleasant Street.
