Silver Hill station is an MBTA Commuter Rail Fitchburg Line station in Weston, Massachusetts, United States. The station has a small shelter, parking area, and a gravel boarding area; it is not accessible. It was the least-used station in the entire MBTA system in 2018, with an average of just eleven daily boardings. Silver Hill station opened in 1844 as one of the original stops on the Fitchburg Railroad. The Boston and Maine Railroad unsuccessfully attempted to close the station in 1959. It remained in use until its temporary closure by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) in December 2020 due to low ridership and a lack of accessibility, with indefinite closure effective April 2021. It reopened on November 18, 2024.
