Providence/Stoughton Line
The
Providence/Stoughton Line
is a line of the
MBTA Commuter Rail
system running southwest from
Boston, Massachusetts
,
USA
. The main line was originally built by the
Boston and Providence Rail Road
, and now carries service between Boston and
Wickford Junction
in
North Kingstown, Rhode Island
. The Stoughton Branch, built as the
Stoughton Branch Railroad
, splits at
Canton Junction
and runs for two more stations to

T. F. Green Airport
and Wickford Junction opened in stages in 2010 and 2012, making the Providence/Stoughton Line the longest of the MBTA's commuter rail lines (surpassing the
Fitchburg Line

an extension of the Stoughton Branch
to New Bedford and Fall River is under construction.
