[1] The station has two 1,050-foot (320 m)-long side platforms (the standard Amtrak length[8]) serving the two tracks of the Northeast Corridor.

[2] About 550 spaces are reserved for Amtrak (with overnight parking allowed), with an entrance from Blue Hill Drive.

[13] Unlike most MBTA stations, credit cards and even E-ZPass transponders are accepted for payment of parking fees.

Her husband, accused of having murdered her and thrown the body from the bridge, was found not guilty by a directed verdict in March 1935.

[1] The larger structure, located on the west side of the tracks, was similar to Sharon station built three decades earlier.

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), formed in 1964 to subsidize suburban commuter service, gradually took over local trains.

[24] The bridge that carried Green Lodge Street over the tracks was closed around 1977 and later removed; the abutments still flank the platforms.

[28] Canton officials, seeking to avoid additional traffic on the residential portion of Green Lodge Street, opposed a new bridge; by 1998, it was no longer planned.

[25] From 1989 to 1994, Boston–Foxboro trains for events at Foxboro Stadium operated over the Northeast Corridor, with intermediate stops including Route 128.

[31] A late 1980s proposal to construct a parking garage and hotel at the station was scrapped due to local opposition.

[39] Station construction began in late 1998, but the garage was further delayed due to continued disputes with the towns.

[49] The financing plan for the garage controversially relied heavily on customer revenues, which initially failed to meet expectations.

[55][27] The Metropolitan District Commission closed an illegal unpaid dirt lot on the east side of the station in November 2001 due to water pollution concerns, though parking on Green Lodge Street remained.

[60][61] In early 2013, the escalator serving the southbound platform failed and was not repaired due to lack of funding for replacement.

Because Amtrak is exempt from state and local building laws, it circumvented normal rules that require regular elevator inspections.

[66] Extension of the Orange Line rapid transit service from Forest Hills to Route 128 has been considered on several occasions.

The 1966 Program for Mass Transportation recommended a bifurcated Orange Line, with one branch to West Roxbury or Bird's Hill and another to either Readville or Route 128 via Hyde Park.

[67] Various reports over the next two decades continued to recommend various combinations of the extensions; however, due to cost, the 1987 relocation of the Orange Line to the Southwest Corridor was terminated at Forest Hills.

[68] The 2004 Program for Mass Transportation listed an extension to Route 128 with intermediate stops at Mount Hope, Hyde Park, and Readville at a cost of $342.8 million.

The extension was listed as low priority due to environmental issues with crossing the wetlands south of Readville, and because the corridor already has commuter rail service.
