Hamilton/Wenham is a passenger rail station on MBTA Commuter Rail's Newburyport/Rockport Line.[1] It is located just south of the intersection of Bay Road (MA Rte. 1A) and Walnut Road in South Hamilton, MA. The station straddles the town line between Hamilton and Wenham with the southern end of the platform geographically in Wenham. The entire station has been rebuilt in recent years on the opposite side of the track. The old station platform used to be on the west side of the tracks and extended all the way to the previously mentioned intersection. The station was moved away from the intersection for the purpose of allowing cars to cross the tracks while trains are stopped at the station. Thus preventing the frequent traffic backups that would occur when a train would come. Train tickets can be purchased at the Hamilton Convenience Store on nearby Railroad Avenue.[1]
