It was located near the Neponset River next to a small dirt parking lot between Plimpton Street and the tracks.

[1] Plimptonville had one of the smallest station facilities on the MBTA Commuter Rail system: an approximately 10-foot (3.0 m)-wide low-level asphalt platform next to the single track, with a small gravel parking lot.

[3] After several reorganizations and mergers, the line became part of the New York and New England Railroad (NY&NE) in 1873.

Additionally, the station was in the middle of a single-track section of the line, severely limiting the number of trains that can stop.

[15] The station was closed again on January 23, 2021[16] as part of the MBTA's "Forging Ahead" initiative, due to low ridership, operational impacts, and availability of alternatives, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
