The Boston and Providence Railroad started full operations between the two cities in June 1835, including a station at the modern location in Sharon.

[3][4] In 1871, the original Sharon station was replaced by a larger building similar to those still extant at East Greenwich and Kingston in Rhode Island.

[4] The current inbound station building and the small outbound shelter were designed by F.J. Pitcher and built in 1936 by the New Haven Railroad.

[7][8] It was considered a priority for elimination because of busy rail traffic – 78 daily trains – and because the Comet operated through Sharon at up to 95 miles per hour (153 km/h).

[9][10] The state issued a $9,789 contract (equivalent to $163,000 in 2023) in November 1937 for construction of platform canopies and other improvements related to the crossing elimination.

[20] The project, which included adding mini-high platforms and improving handicapped access to the building, was originally expected to begin in the spring of 2013 and to be completed that fall at a cost of $1.2 million.

In the late 1800s, a short-lived half-mile branch line led from Sharon Heights to a summer-only station at Lake Massapoag.
