The historic structure is located at 69 North Main Street in downtown, historic Medford Village. The railroad structure is now a medical building (Medford Station Internal Medicine) and only some of the railroad tracks remain. There is a historical sign which marks the site and is numbered 42 along the Medford Historic Trail.
The railroad is gone but the station is still there. It was the police station but now it's fully restored and the office of Drs. Waldron and Holton.
If you look over to the right (see picture) you will see some of the original tracks remain. They go right up to the sidewalk and then disappear. When I looked at the station, I could almost visualize how it looked all those years ago. It is completely restored and if you look hard enough, you can see people lined up to buy tickets.
