Union Station (Clinton, Massachusetts)

Union Station in Clinton, Massachusetts, was a historic train station located on the Worcester, Nashua and Portland Railroad (later part of the Boston and Maine Railroad). Built in 1851, it served as a vital transportation hub connecting Clinton to larger regional networks. The station was situated at the junction of several rail lines, hence the name "Union Station."

The building was a modest, wood-frame structure typical of smaller New England towns during the mid-19th century. It facilitated passenger and freight transport, supporting Clinton's burgeoning industrial economy, which was largely centered on textile mills. Passengers could travel to Worcester, Nashua, Boston, and other destinations.

Over time, as the use of railways declined in favor of automobiles and trucking, Union Station's importance diminished. Passenger service ceased, and the building fell into disrepair. Eventually, the station was demolished. Today, no trace of the original structure remains at the site. Information regarding the precise address is unavailable due to the demolition. Historic maps and railroad records are the primary sources documenting its existence and function within the town's history.
