History
The Stoughton Branch Railroad opened in early 1845. The station near the village center was named South Canton to distinguish it from Canton station on the Boston and Providence Railroad mainline. Around 1879, the branch station was renamed Canton, while the mainline station became Canton Junction.[1] The Old Colony Railroad constructed a new freight house at Canton in 1891.[2]
Around 2001, the station was briefly proposed to be closed as part of the South Coast Rail project.[3] The station is proposed to be reconstructed as part of Phase 2 of the since-modified project, which would extend the Stoughton Branch south to several South Coast cities.[4] Under plans released in 2013, a second track would be added through the station to support increased bidirectional service; two Script error: No such module "convert". low-level platforms would be built, each with a mini-high platform for accessibility.[5] By 2024, with Phase 1 nearing completion, it was unclear whether Phase 2 would ever be constructed.[6]
