During much of its lifetime, this station was a flag stop, so the train would stop for passengers a piece of metal on top of a pole was rotated. The station was not staffed after 1913, but it continued as a flag stop until November 26, 1971, when service on the Central Mass Branch was terminated due to poor track conditions and low ridership.[2] After years of neglect and vandalism, it was demolished in 1999.[1]: 45
In 2019, a paved section of the Mass Central Rail Trail—Wayside was built over the section of the ROW the station was built to service.[4]
