besides the fitchburg line station, leominster also once had two other train stations. the fitchburg and worcester railroad opened in 1850 between the eponymous cities, with a station stop in leominster center as well as west leominster (at hamilton avenue). through service from worcester to fitchburg ended in 1926, and the last passenger service through leominster center ended in 1931. the line is now used for freight service from the south but is abandoned north of mechanic street in downtown leominster. the 1878 leominster center station still stands at 24 columbia street.
