Route 128 Station is one of the most important suburban rail stations serving the Greater Boston area. Known for its highway-side location, large parking capacity, and strong mix of commuter and long-distance rail services, the station has become a vital gateway for passengers who want efficient train travel without entering the busy downtown core. Over the years, Route 128 Station has evolved into a cornerstone of regional transportation, balancing suburban convenience with reliable rail connectivity.
Strategic Location and Easy Access
Route 128 Station is located in Westwood, Massachusetts, close to the borders of Dedham and Canton. It sits directly along the Route 128 and Interstate 95 corridor, making it exceptionally accessible for travelers arriving by car. This location allows passengers from surrounding suburbs and neighboring towns to reach the station quickly while avoiding the congestion often found closer to Boston.
The station’s road layout is designed to handle high traffic volumes smoothly. Clearly marked entrances and exits, along with designated drop-off and pick-up areas, help ensure efficient vehicle movement during peak travel hours. This thoughtful planning makes Route 128 Station especially appealing to commuters and long-distance travelers alike.
Origins and Early Purpose

opened in the early 1950s during a period of rapid suburban growth. Transportation planners recognized that expanding residential areas outside Boston required new rail access points tailored to automobile users. Unlike traditional city stations, Route 128 Station was developed with the park-and-ride concept in mind, allowing passengers to drive to the station, park their vehicles, and continue their journeys by train.
In its early years, the station featured modest buildings and surface parking lots. Despite its simplicity, it quickly gained popularity and proved that suburban rail hubs could successfully attract steady ridership. This early success influenced similar transportation developments throughout the region.
