Weston is a former station on the Central Mass Branch, from 1965–1971 part of the MBTA Commuter Rail system, located off Church Street near the town center of Weston, Massachusetts. 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 was located below grade, with a staircase leading from the Church Street overpass to the station. The station building and staircase are still extant as of 2016[update].
