History
East Weymouth station in the early 20th century
The New Haven Railroad abandoned its remaining Old Colony Division lines on June 30, 1959, after the completion of the Southeast Expressway.[1] The East Weymouth station had been located off Station Street.[3]
The MBTA reopened the Greenbush Line on October 31, 2007, with East Weymouth station off Commercial Street, east of the former location.[1]
