Location

Islington station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Westwood, Massachusetts. Located in the Islington neighborhood, it serves the Franklin/Foxboro Line. It was formerly the junction between the Norfolk County Railroad's original main line to Dedham (later abandoned) and the Midland Railroad's line to Boston via Readville station. Islington station has low-level platforms and is not accessible. In May 2024, the MBTA indicated the possibility of building accessible platforms shorter than standard length at Islington.[2]
