Waltham Highlands Station
Waltham Highlands station is a former railroad station in Waltham, Massachusetts. Originally established by the Massachusetts Central Railroad in 1881 and operated by the Central Massachusetts Railroad in 1885, it was incorporated into the MBTA Commuter Rail with MBTA subsidies in 1965. It was located on Hammond Street north of the Waltham town center. It was closed on November 26, 1971, when service on the Central Mass Branch was terminated due to poor track conditions and low ridership. The station building remains, with some modifications, and is used as an insurance agency. In 2023, a paved section of the Mass Central Rail Trail—Wayside was built on the railbed past the former station.
