Hanson station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Hanson, Massachusetts, served by the Kingston Line. It is located off Main Street (Massachusetts Route 27) in the South Hanson village. It has one full-length high-level platform serving the line's single track and is fully accessible.
History
The Old Colony Railroad opened through South Hanson in November 1845, with Hanson station located at Main Street.[2] The station burned two weeks later, and an exact replica was constructed.[3]
The station was renamed South Hanson on June 24, 1878.[3][4] A new wooden station building was constructed that year; it was split in half in 1886 and a new middle section added.[5][6][7] The original station was converted to a freight house and may have survived as late as the 1990s.[7]
The New Haven Railroad ended its remaining Old Colony Division service, including commuter service to South Hanson, on June 30, 1959.[2] The former station building remains intact, though unused.[3]
On September 29, 1997, the MBTA restored commuter rail service on the Plymouth/Kingston Line and Middleborough/Lakeville Line.[1] Hanson station was opened at the former South Hanson station site.
