Weymouth Landing/East Braintree (signed as East Braintree/Weymouth Landing) is an MBTA Commuter Rail station on the border of Braintree and Weymouth, Massachusetts. It serves the Greenbush Line. It is located in Weymouth Landing, and consists of a single side platform serving the line's one track. The station is fully accessible.
History[]
The New Haven Railroad abandoned its remaining Old Colony Division lines on June 30, 1959, after the completion of the Southeast Expressway.[1] The Weymouth station had been located just west of Commercial Street.[3]
The MBTA reopened the Greenbush Line on October 31, 2007, with Weymouth station located between Commercial Street and Quincy Avenue.[1] Original plans called for a 450-foot (140 m) platform between the streets, but the MBTA ultimately decided to build a standard 800-foot (240 m) platform that extends under the streets at either end.[citation needed]
