Newmarket is a passenger rail station on the MBTA Commuter Rail's Fairmount Line, located off Massachusetts Avenue at Newmarket Square in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The station has two 800-foot high-level platforms and sloping walkways connecting it to Massachusetts Avenue. Originally planned to be in service in 2011, it opened on July 1, 2013 along with Four Corners/Geneva Ave.HistoryPrevious serviceService on the Fairmount Line began in 1855 and lasted until 1944. There were stations located in South Boston and at Dudley Street but not at Massachusetts Avenue. Newmarket is thus the first railroad station located at the site. Temporary shuttle service resumed on the Fairmount Line in 1979 during Southwest Corridor construction, with stops at Uphams Corner, Morton Street, and Fairmount. The MBTA planned to drop the shuttle after service resumed on the Southwest Corridor in 1987, but the service was locally popular and the Fairmount Line became a permanent part of the system.
