Stoughton

The Providence/Stoughton Line was one of the first railroads in the United States chartered as the Boston & Providence Railroad in 1831. Running through the Jamaica Plain section of Roxbury the railroad helped transform the area into one of the first suburbs in America. Originally the line had to cross the Back Bay between Roxbury and Boston on a viaduct and its depot was built at Park Sq, then filled in land on the coast of the city. When the Back Bay was filled in the street layout was designed around the diagonal run of the Boston & Providence tracks. In 1888 the B&P was leased to the Old Colony Railroad which itself was leased by J.P. Morgan’s NY, New Haven & Hartford Railroad in 1893. In the 1970s, after being bought by the Penn Central and then Conrail, the Providence-Boston route was bought by the MBTA. In 2012 service was extended to Wickford Junction, RI. Service from Providence to Foxboro is run for football games and special events. The Stoughton branch has only two stations but will be extended south to Fall River and New Bedford as part of the South Coast Rail project now under construction.
