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:
“Old man, it’s four flights up and for what?
Your room is hardly any bigger than your bed.
Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
