History

Early history

After the railroads from Boston to Lowell, Worcester, and Providence were chartered in 1830 and 1831, railroads to other surrounding cities including Newburyport and Portsmouth were proposed. Construction began in August 1836 but was slowed by the financial panic of 1837. The Eastern Railroad built its line through Lynn at surface level, with operations starting on August 27, 1838 from Salem to East Boston via Lynn. A number of stations have served Lynn, including a series of stations near the current location at Central Square as well as a number of other stations around the city. The first depot at the Central Square location, built in 1838, was a small wooden building. It was replaced in 1848 with a brick building with a 2-track train shed.
