History
The South Shore Railroad commenced service on January 1, 1849, connecting Braintree to Cohasset, with East Weymouth included as one of the initial stops. In 1877, the South Shore Railroad was incorporated into the Old Colony Railroad, which itself became part of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1893.
Operations by the New Haven Railroad on the Old Colony Division, including East Weymouth, ended on June 30, 1959, coinciding with the completion of the Southeast Expressway. The original station building located off Station Street was torn down around 1970, although portions of the platform remained visible into the early 2000s.
When the MBTA reinstated service on the Greenbush Line on October 31, 2007, East Weymouth station was repositioned to Commercial Street, eastward from its original location. During this redevelopment, the MBTA purchased the adjacent Durante property—formerly a wool mill site—to fulfill environmental permitting requirements. Subsequent investigations revealed soil contamination necessitating cleanup. As of 2025, plans are underway for remediation and wetland restoration efforts at this site scheduled for 2026–2027.
