Service
South Acton is currently the only station other than Porter and North Station served by all Fitchburg Line trains, for a total of about 16 daily round trips. About one-third of these trips currently terminate at South Acton, while the others continue to Fitchburg.
After the Fitchburg Line improvements are complete, South Acton will no longer be the outbound end of double-tracking, and the South Acton short-turn trains will be extended to Littleton/Route 495 (which is also being rebuilt) in 2014. However, as a high-ridership station, South Acton will continue to be served by all trains.
