The Old Colony Railroad opened through South Hanson in November 1845, with Hanson station located at Main Street. [3] The station burned two weeks later, and an exact replica was constructed. [4]
The station was renamed South Hanson on June 24, 1878. [4] [5] A new wooden station building was constructed that year; it was split in half in 1886 and a new middle section added. [6] [7] [8] The original station was converted to a freight house and may have survived as late as the 1990s. [8]
The New Haven Railroad ended its remaining Old Colony Division service, including commuter service to South Hanson, on June 30, 1959. [3] The former station building remains intact, though unused. [4]
On September 29, 1997, the MBTA restored commuter rail service on the two Old Colony Lines, part of the former Old Colony Railroad system. [1] Hanson station was opened at the former South Hanson station site.
