Newtonville is a regional rail station on the MBTA Commuter Rail Framingham/Worcester Line, located next to the Massachusetts Turnpike at Newtonville Square in the Newtonville village of Newton, Massachusetts. Stairway entrances are located on the bridges at Walnut Street and Harvard Street. Newtonville station is not handicapped accessible.
History
Hulls Crossing station opened as a flag stop on the Boston and Worcester Railroad in 1842.[2] It was first located on the south side of the tracks on the west side of Harvard Street, then later moved to the east side.[4][5]
A red brick station was constructed slightly to the east in the 1870s, one of a small number of B&A stations built that decade.[6] It ultimately became the first stop outside Boston for long-distance trains on the Boston and Albany Railroad.[7]
The present station has one active side platform next to the southern track (Turnpike side); The far track could theoretically be boarded by standing on the near track on a wooden crossing. A second platform, now abandoned, sits aside the northern track.
