The station building was reused by a news agency by 1962, by which time it and Kendal Green station had the same private owner.[3] Boston and Maine Railroad service was subsidized by the MBTA and added to the MBTA Commuter Rail system in 1965. The station closed on November 26, 1971, when service on the Central Mass Branch was terminated due to poor track conditions and low ridership.[1] The station was located below grade, with a staircase leading from the Church Street overpass to the station. The station building and staircase are still extant as of 2018, but are in disrepair. In 2022, Weston station was listed on the Massachusetts Most Endangered Historic Resources Program, in an attempt to identify preservation opportunities.[4]
