The Provincetown Train Station was located on Bradford Street (formerly Back Street) between Alden and Standish Streets in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
The first scheduled train arrived in Provincetown on July 23, 1873 to much fanfare. It was reported that when the first train with dignitaries arrived old cannons boomed out salutes, church bells were rung and a brass band helped the crowd march up to the Pavilion on High Pole Hill.
Passenger service to Provincetown ended in July 1938 but freight service survived until 1960, when the tracks above North Eastham were abandoned.
