MASSDOT, the MBTA are excited to join the Baker Administration, Federal, State, and Local Public officials and our neighbors in Fitchburg and Westminster to celebrate the recent opening of the New Wachusett Commuter Rail Station.
This event will include a speaking program at the station at 3:30 pm on Thursday, December 15th for the public and project stakeholders.
The new Wachusett Station includes new full-train length, accessible high-level platforms, new canopies, passenger shelters, benches, windscreens, signage, train approach warning system, variable message signs, and platform lighting. The station will be equipped with closed circuit television (CCTV) video surveillance cameras, and police emergency call boxes.
Wachusett Station is the newest station on the MBTA commuter Rail System. The design and construction of the new station has been closely coordinated with the City of Fitchburg and will be supported by a new Commuter Rail Layover facility in the neighboring town of Westminster.
