rapid transit Red Line in Kendall Square at the intersection of Broadway and Main Street, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Trains emerge from the Red Line tunnel just south/east of the station to cross the Charles River via the Longfellow Bridge. The station includes the Kendall Band, a public art installation of hand-operated musical sculptures that hang between the tracks at the station platform level and are operated by levers located on the side walls of the two platforms. The Kendall stop also features a prominent timeline detailing the history of MIT. There is no crossover within fare control; to reverse direction one must exit and re-enter the station, passing through fare gates again.
