Bridgewater is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Bridgewater, Massachusetts on the Middleborough/Lakeville Line. It is located on the east end of the Bridgewater State University campus along the Middleborough Main Line (formerly the original Fall River Railroad).
The station opened on September 29, 1997, along with the rest of the Middleborough/Lakeville and Plymouth/Kingston Lines.[1]
The former Bridgewater station, located in Bridgewater proper, is now a Burger King restaurant. It served as a train station until 1959, then again from 1984 to 1988 as a stop on the Cape Cod & Hyannis Railroad.[3][4]
