Lechmere Warehouse functioned as a rail station on the MBTA Commuter Rail's Lowell Line, situated in the northwestern part of Woburn, Massachusetts. Its main purpose was to accommodate reverse commuters employed at the nearby warehouse belonging to the Lechmere department store. The station operated as a flag stop, with certain northbound trains in the morning and southbound trains in the evening halting only upon request.
History
Established in 1979, the facility consisted of two low-level platforms approximately long, serving a pair of tracks. Ridership was minimal, with daily usage recorded at just 17 passengers in 1983. The station ceased operations around 1997 after the shutdown of Lechmere stores, which was a consequence of the parent company Montgomery Ward filing for bankruptcy. The original platforms are still present at the site.
