List of MBTA Commuter Rail stations
The MBTA Commuter Rail is the commuter rail system for the Greater Boston metropolitan area of Massachusetts. It is owned by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and operated under contract by the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Company (MBCR).[1] As of the second quarter of 2011, it was the fifth-busiest commuter rail system in the United States with an average weekday ridership of 135,300.[2] There are currently 133 stations on 12 lines, with one additional station used only for special events at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.[3][4]
The system's routes span 394 miles (634 km) and cover roughly a third of Massachusetts.[3] They stretch from Newburyport in the north to Warwick, Rhode Island in the south, and reach as far west as Worcester and Fitchburg. There are plans to expand the area covered by the Commuter Rail further into Rhode Island to the south as well as into New Hampshire to the north.[5][6]
The system is split into two parts, with lines north of Boston having a terminus at North Station and lines south of Boston having a terminus at South Station. There is no direct connection between the two stations, but travel is made possible by transferring to the MBTA's subway system.[3][4] This lack of direct connection could be alleviated by the proposed North-South Rail Link which would build a tunnel connecting the two terminals.[7]
Currently, there are several extensions of the Commuter Rail system under construction or in the planning stages. The Fairmount Line is undergoing a major rehabilitation that includes the construction of four new stations in Boston,[8] while work on a new western terminus of the Fitchburg Line at Wachusett Station has started.[9] The extension of service from Providence further into Rhode Island to T.F. Green Airport and Wickford Junction stations is also nearing completion.[5] Planning work on the South Coast Rail project to restore service to Fall River and New Bedford is continuing with bridge work already started,[10] and the proposed extensions of commuter rail service to Nashua, New Hampshire via the Lowell Line and Plaistow, New Hampshire via the Haverhill Line are in the planning stages.[6][11]
