Commuter Rail
- Of those MBTA commuter rail stations that have wheelchair access, most only have a short elevated platform that serves one or two cars. The short elevated platforms are located at the end of the station away from Boston. A few commuter rail stations do have full length high platforms. These include:
- Lynn
- North Station
- Providence
- Route 128
- South Station
- All Greenbush Line stations
- Back Bay (all tracks except those serving the Framingham/Worcester line, which only have short elevated platforms)
- Worcester
- Anderson RTC
- Newburyport
- Rowley
- Lawrence
- Ruggles
- Forest Hills
- Lowell (about half the platform is raised and the other half is level with the track; the raised section can serve up to 4 cars, although the train usually only pulls up far enough for access to 3 cars from the raised section)
See individual station articles for more information.

Famous quotes containing the word rail:
“If goodness were only a theory, it were a pity it should be lost to the world. There are a number of things, the idea of which is a clear gain to the mind. Let people, for instance, rail at friendship, genius, freedom, as long as they will—the very names of these despised qualities are better than anything else that could be substituted for them, and embalm even the most envenomed satire against them.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
