The former Boston and Maine Railroad station building was demolished by 1962.[2] Ipswich was the terminus of the line from April 1976, when the lone remaining round trip to Newburyport station was cut, until full service was restored on October 26, 1998.[3] Just south of the end of the platform are two auxiliary tracks that were used to store trains during that time.
