Roslindale Village station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station on the Needham Line, located in the Roslindale Square business district of the Roslindale neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts. The station has a single side platform serving the line's single track, with a mini-high platform for accessibility.
Roslindale Square is an important bus transfer location; ten MBTA bus routes ( 14, 30, 34, 34E, 35, 36, 37, 40, 50, and 51) run on Washington Street between Forest Hills and Roslindale, then fan out to the south and west. [2]
The Boston and Providence Railroad (B&P) opened its West Roxbury Branch from Forest Hills to Dedham via West Roxbury on July 14, 1849. [3] [4]: 154 Stations at South Street (later Roslindale), Central ( Bellevue), and West Roxbury all opened with the branch. [5] A new brick station building was constructed in 1876. [6]
A grade crossing elimination project in the late 1890s raised the tracks above grade. A rail bridge was built over Roberts Street, while South Street was cut at the tracks, with only a pedestrian underpass. The 1898-built bridge over Roberts Street was replaced with a modern bridge in June 2021. [7] The new bridge was designed to allow construction of a parallel span should a second track be later added. [8]
