South Chatham station was a train station located in South Chatham, Massachusetts. Built in 1887, it was a small wooden structure with a trackside bay window.[2]
The Chatham Railroad opened between Harwich and Chatham on November 21, 1887.[3][4] It was immediately leased by the Old Colony Railroad, which controlled all rail lines on Cape Cod, as its Chatham Branch.[5][6] The Old Colony was leased by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1893.[5]
Passenger service on the Chatham Branch ended in 1931; it was the first line on Cape Cod to lose service.[5][7] Freight service continued until the line was abandoned in 1937.[8][9] The stations were sold to private individuals; all but Chatham were eventually demolished.[10]
