West Hingham Station is a rail station on the MBTA Commuter Rail system in Hingham, Massachusetts. The station, located at 20 Fort Hill Street, is the sixth of ten along the MBTA's Greenbush Line, which provides service between Scituate and Boston. The line, which reopened on October 31, 2007, was part of the Old Colony Railroad, which had been abandoned since 1959. The station like all others on the Greenbush Line has a full length high level concrete platform. The parking lot is accessed from Fort Hill St., and is at platform level. There is also a walkway parallel to the track from the east end of the platform 270 feet (82 m) to the intersection of Fort Hill, East, and South streets. The station is bordered to the south by the South Shore Country Club.
