Endicott is a regional rail station on the MBTA Commuter Rail Franklin Line, located off Grant Avenue near East Street in Dedham, Massachusetts.
History
The Norfolk County Railroad opened its Boston Extension (the Midland Branch) from Islington to Boston on January 1, 1855 to end its dependence on the Boston and Providence Railroad for access to downtown Boston. East Street (later known as Endicott) was among the original stops on the extension. The line was closed from July 14, 1855 until late 1856 due to a lawsuit over grade crossings in Dorchester, and from 1858 to February 11, 1867 due to financial difficulties of various railroads attempting to operate the line. Endicott has been continuously open since 1867, with service via the Midland Branch until 1898 and thereafter mostly via the B&P mainline.
