Mansfield - MBTA Commuter Rail

Mansfield is a Commuter Rail Station on the Northeast Corridor in a high-speed zone so each platform is equipped with an automatic system that chimes and displays flash 'train approaching, stand behind yellow line' for safety. It has two low-level side platforms with mini-highs at their southern ends. There is parking mainly along the outbound side of the tracks, with a station house built in 2004 on the inbound side with a historic clock from the original town hall that burned down in 1995. The eves of this house provide the only protection from the elements for waiting passengers. A ticket office is open from 5:00am to 11:00am.

The station was rebuilt from 2017 through 2022 to make the stop more ADA accessible with an accessible connection between the platforms. The core of this project were the construction of mini-high platforms with white canopies at the southern end of the station. These each lead down to ramps (with similar white canopies over them) down to the northern sidewalk of the underpass of Chauncy Street that provides the grade-seperated cross-under between the two platforms.
