Beverly Farms is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Beverly, Massachusetts. Located at the intersection of Oak Street and West Street (MA-127), it serves the Newburyport/Rockport Line. The historic 1898 station building is still present but no longer used for railroad purposes. The station has two side platforms serving the line's two tracks, each with a mini-high section to make the station handicapped accessible.

History

The Eastern Railroad originally only stopped at West Beach to the east when the Gloucester Branch opened in 1847; not until around 1852 did a station open at the modern Beverly Farms site. In 1898, the Boston and Maine Railroad built the current hip-roofed depot. The railroad agency at Beverly Farms closed in 1952 and the freight house was demolished the year after. The station building was closed in 1958; it now houses a real estate agency.
