Weston station (Boston and Maine Railroad) (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Weston station is a former railroad station in Weston, Massachusetts. Located off Church Street in the Weston town center, it was originally operated by the Central Massachusetts Railroad, which constructed it in the board-and-batten style in 1881. The station building was reused by a news agency by 1962, by which time it and Kendal Green station had the same private owner. Boston and Maine Railroad service was subsidized by the MBTA and added to the MBTA Commuter Rail system in 1965. The station closed on November 26, 1971, when service on the Central Mass Branch was terminated due to poor track conditions and low ridership. The station was located below grade, with a staircase leading from the Church Street overpass to the station. The station building and staircase are still extant as of 2018, but are in disrepair.
