Woburn Branch Railroad

Instead, the B&L ran the line through the Montvale, Mishawum, and North Woburn sections of the town, bypassing the center.

The branch was abandoned from Woburn Square north to the Wilmington/Woburn town line in 1961.

The B&L continued commuter rail service to Woburn on the original branch line from Winchester.

Trains ran on the Woburn Loop until 1981 when poor track conditions and budget cuts stopped service.

The MBTA still owns the right-of-way in Woburn, but the portion in Winchester was purchased by the town in 1983, and most was sold off for private development.
