Lincoln station serves as a stop on the MBTA Commuter Rail network within Lincoln, Massachusetts, specifically on the Fitchburg Line. The station consists of two side platforms located alongside the outbound track, positioned on either side of the Lincoln Road level crossing. North platform accommodates outbound trains, while inbound trains halt opposite the south platform, requiring passengers to cross paved walkways to board. This configuration helps reduce train-related delays on Lincoln Road, an essential corridor for emergency vehicles. Both platforms are low-level and currently lack accessibility features.
Continuous commuter rail operations at Lincoln have existed since before 1850. A previous station structure situated on the outbound side was removed by 1962.
In 2024, the MBTA introduced a pilot project at Beverly Depot featuring a temporary standalone accessible platform. This approach aims to provide accessibility enhancements without the high costs associated with extensive platform modifications. Lincoln station is part of the second group of stops planned to receive these provisional accessibility upgrades. Funding for both design and construction is sourced from Fair Share Amendment revenues, with design efforts commencing in early 2024.
