West Chatham station (sometimes called Hotel Chatham) was a flag stop train station located in West Chatham, Massachusetts.
The Chatham Railroad opened between Harwich and Chatham on November 21, 1887.[2][3] It was immediately leased by the Old Colony Railroad, which controlled all rail lines on Cape Cod, as its Chatham Branch.[4][5] The Old Colony was leased by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1893.[4]
Passenger service on the Chatham Branch ended in 1931; it was the first line on Cape Cod to lose service.[4][6] Freight service continued until the line was abandoned in 1937.[7][8] The stations were sold to private individuals; all but Chatham were eventually demolished.[9]
