Watertown Carhouse is a bus maintenance facility and former streetcar carhouse located in the southern section of Watertown, Massachusetts, across the Charles River from Watertown Square.

- Watertown Yard

The line ran from Watertown through Newton Corner, Brighton, and Allston to Kenmore Square, then used the Boylston Street subway and Tremont Street subway to reach Park Street station.

- Green Line A branch

In 1912, the Watertown Line was created by extending the Newton Corner line along these tracks to a new transfer facility, yard, and maintenance facility, Watertown Yard.

- Watertown Yard

Remnants of the tracks are still visible today in the Watertown Yard bus terminal (no longer used for railcar maintenance), as well as a short stub track at Packard's Corner, where the "A" branch used to diverge from the "B" branch.

- Green Line A branch

Most of them pass through or terminate in Watertown Square or Watertown Yard.

- Watertown, Massachusetts

The former A-Watertown branch of the MBTA's Green Line ran to Watertown until 1969.
