East Sudbury station was a train station in Sudbury, Massachusetts which was east of the Landham Road overpass.

Background

East Sudbury station was created by the Boston and Maine Railroad (B&M) before December 19, 1887 on the Central Massachusetts Branch. It was unstaffed by 1913 and became a flag stop.^[1]^: 73 B&M service was subsidized by the MBTA and added to the MBTA Commuter Rail system in 1965.^[2]^{: 369–371}

The station was a simple wooden open-air shelter for passengers with a small parking lot.^[3]^[1]^: 143

Service on the Central Mass Branch was terminated on November 26, 1971 due to poor track conditions and low ridership.^[2]^{: 369–371, 373}^[1]^: 143 The shelter has since been demolished.

In 2022, a buried transmission line project between Sudbury and Hudson began construction under the former Central Massachusetts Railroad ROW for which it provided service.^[4] This project subsidized the cost of building a section of the Mass Central Rail Trail—Wayside, which is expected to complete construction in 2025.^[5] As part of this project, DCR will install granite markers to commemorate the archaeological site.^[6]^: 6
