History

The replica of Greenwood station at Lomita Railroad Museum

The Boston and Maine Railroad (B&M) opened its line from Wilmington Junction to Boston on July 1, 1845. Greenwood station opened by the end of the decade in South Reading (later renamed Wakefield).

The ticket office in the station building closed on February 22, 1952. By 1962, the former station building was relocated to the Pleasure Island amusement park for use on an antique railroad. The façade of the Lomita Railroad Museum in Lomita, California, is a replica of the original Greenwood station.

Rail service on the inner Haverhill Line was suspended from September 9 to November 5, 2023, to accommodate signal work. Substitute bus service was operated between Reading and Oak Grove, serving all intermediate stops.
