History
The Boston and Maine Railroad (B&M) established East Sudbury station on the Central Massachusetts Branch prior to December 19, 1887. By 1913, the station had become unstaffed and functioned as a flag stop. In 1965, B&M service was supported by the MBTA and integrated into the MBTA Commuter Rail network.
The facility featured a modest wooden shelter that was open to the elements, accompanied by a small parking area. Passenger service on the Central Mass Branch was discontinued on November 26, 1971, due to deteriorating track conditions and declining ridership. The original shelter has since been removed.
In 2022, work commenced on an underground transmission line running between Sudbury and Hudson along the old Central Massachusetts Railroad corridor. This infrastructure project helped fund a segment of the Mass Central Rail Trail—Wayside, which is anticipated to be finished by 2025. As part of this effort, the DCR plans to place granite markers honoring the site's archaeological significance.
