History

The station opened in 1979 and consisted of two low platforms about 60 feet (18 m) long serving the line's two tracks. The station was never heavily used; in 1983, it had just 17 daily riders.^[2] The stop was discontinued circa 1997, when the Lechmere stores closed as parent company Montgomery Ward underwent bankruptcy.^[3] The platforms are still extant.
