West Medford station
West Medford is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Medford, Massachusetts. It serves the Lowell Line, and is located at West Medford Square.History
When the original Boston and Lowell Railroad was laid out in the 1830s, West Medford was mostly farmland. The route of the new railroad was built on land acquired from Peter Chardon Brooks, who sold a strip for the right-of-way plus a parcel for the station on High Street. The initial stop was called "Medford Gates"; it gave birth to West Medford Square and, eventually, the surrounding residential neighborhoods.
The depot structure built in 1880 was destroyed by a fire in 1950. The finial from the roof of the station now resides today at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
In 2019, the MBTA listed West Medford as a "Tier I" accessibility priority.
