East Weymouth station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Weymouth, Massachusetts. It serves the Greenbush Line, and is located in the East Weymouth village. It consists of a single side platform serving the line's one track. The station is fully accessible.
The South Shore Railroad opened between Braintree and Cohasset on January 1, 1849. East Weymouth was among the original stations on the line.[1] [2] [3] The South Shore Railroad was acquired by the Old Colony Railroad in 1877; the Old Colony was in turn acquired by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1893.
The New Haven Railroad abandoned its remaining Old Colony Division lines on June 30, 1959, after the completion of the Southeast Expressway. The East Weymouth station had been located off Station Street.[4] The abandoned station building was demolished around 1970, while portions of the concrete platforms lasted into the early 21st century.[5]
The MBTA reopened the Greenbush Line on October 31, 2007, with East Weymouth station off Commercial Street, east of the former location.
