Manchester station (signed as Manchester by the Sea) is an MBTA Commuter Rail Newburyport/Rockport Line station in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts. The station is accessible, with mini-high platforms at the outbound end of the platform. [2]
The Gloucester Branch opened from Beverly to Manchester in August 1847. It was extended to Gloucester station in December 1847, and to Rockport in November 1861. [3] The line later passed to the Eastern Railroad, which itself was absorbed by the Boston and Maine Railroad.
The original passenger station was replaced by a newer station in 1895. Neither survive, but the original freight house is present and used as a community center. [4] West Manchester station, which was located on Boardman Street, was closed in early 1940. [5]
When the MBTA was formed in August 1964 to subsidize suburban commuter service, Manchester was the northeast limit of its funding district. On January 18, 1965, the Boston & Maine cut Gloucester Branch service back to Manchester. After Gloucester and Rockport reached funding deals to subsidize out-of-district operations, full service was returned to Rockport on June 28, 1965. [6] The 1895-built station was demolished by 1977 and replaced by a laundromat. [7]
