Roslindale Village station is anMBTA Commuter Rail station on theNeedham Line, located in the Roslindale Square business district of theRoslindale neighborhood inBoston, Massachusetts. The station has a singleside platform serving the line's single track, with amini-high platform foraccessibility.
Roslindale Square is an important bus transfer location; tenMBTA 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]
TheBoston and Providence Railroad (B&P) opened its West Roxbury Branch fromForest Hills toDedham viaWest Roxbury on July 14, 1849.[3][4]: 154 Stations atSouth Street (laterRoslindale), Central (Bellevue), andWest 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]
