The Old Hyannis Train Station was located at 477 Yarmouth Road in Hyannis, Massachusetts. In 1953 the New Haven Railroad converted the structure, which was once used as a freight house, into a passenger station. The station was closed in 1964, when the New Haven Railroad discontinued passenger service on Cape Cod.
The station building today houses a restaurant that operates under the name Harry's at the Depot.

Famous quotes containing the words train and/or station:
“The average parent may, for example, plant an artist or fertilize a ballet dancer and end up with a certified public accountant. We cannot train children along chicken wire to make them grow in the right direction. Tying them to stakes is frowned upon, even in Massachusetts.”
—Ellen Goodman (b. 1941)
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
