Newtonville is a passenger rail station on MBTA Commuter Rail's Framingham/Worcester Line. It is located at Newtonville Square in the Newtonville village of Newton, Massachusetts, next to the Massachusetts Turnpike. Stairway entrances are located on the bridges at Walnut Street and Harvard Street; the station is not handicapped accessible.

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.

Newtonville was formerly the first stop outside Boston for long-distance trains on the Boston and Albany Railroad.^[3]
