Bourne Railroad Station is a planned CapeFlyer train station that will be located in Bourne, Massachusetts.

History

The station was built by the Cape Cod Branch Railroad when the line was extended from Wareham to Sandwich in 1848.^[1] It is unknown when the station was torn down, and was located at 41°44′39.97″N 70°35′44.84″W / 41.7444361°N 70.5957889°W / 41.7444361; -70.5957889/

In September 2014 it was announced that local officials were considering a new station stop along the CapeFlyer route in Bourne for the 2015 season. According to the announcement, the station stop would be located on government land under the Bourne Bridge.^[2] Construction was confirmed in November 2014, when the state announced construction of the station, along with planned trackside improvements and signal houses on both sides of the bridge, as well as improvements to switches in the area. Additionally, a 4,000 foot siding will be constructed in order to facilitate waiting trains at the bridge^[3]

In February of 2015, it was announced that the opening of the station would be delayed one year, due to the amount of snow received during the winter and local unease over the project.^[4]
