Canton Junction

"There is a lot of walking to reach the correct track even once you manage to figure out which track is correct. Trains to Boston leave from two different tracks and you have to know where the train originated in order to pick the right one."

"This station is my all time favorite spot to film and I recommend any starting railfanner in Massachusetts to film here first"

"To go Boston, you can take two trains one coming form providence/Sharon and 2nd coming from Stoughton. Canton junction is merging station. Track D - To Boston (trains coming from Stoughton) Track B - To Boston (trains coming from Providence/Sharon) Track A goes to Providence. Track C goes to Stoughton."

"This review is more for the cafe there. We are visiting from Florida and this was my first train ride and my husband hasn’t ridden a train in 20+ years. Anyways, the gentleman there(I’m sorry I’m terrible with names when I’m panicking) was super helpful and friendly, when I told him this was my first train ever he showed us where to go and even stood outside to make sure we were on the right platform. I can’t thank him enough for his consideration and helpfulness!"

"There are several platforms here and stairs to get between them, so it can get confusing. There is plenty of pay parking here. Taking the train is a quick and easy way to get into Boston. Canton Junction is right at the split between the Providence and Stoughton branches, so you can take either train."
