Roslindale Village station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station on the Needham Line, located in the Roslindale Square business district of the Roslindale neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts. The station has a single side platform serving the line's single track, with a mini-high platform for accessibility.
Roslindale Square is an important bus transfer location; MBTA bus routes run on Washington Street between Forest Hills and Roslindale, then fan out to the south and west.
The Boston and Providence Railroad (B&P) opened its West Roxbury Branch from to via West Roxbury on July 14, 1849.[1] [2] Stations at South Street (later Roslindale), Central, and all opened with the branch.[3] A new brick station building was constructed in 1876.[4]
A grade crossing elimination project in the late 1890s raised the tracks above grade. A rail bridge was built over Roberts Street, while South Street was cut at the tracks, with only a pedestrian underpass. The 1898-built bridge over Roberts Street was replaced with a modern bridge in June 2021.[5] The new bridge was designed to allow construction of a parallel span should a second track be later added.[6]
