History
[edit]![](http://178.128.105.246/cars-http-upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Peninsula_Depot_%282%29.jpg/250px-Peninsula_Depot_%282%29.jpg)
Initially a stop on the Valley Railway, trains began regular service at Peninsula in 1880.[2] The original station building was destroyed in a fire in the 1960s. It was replaced with the depot formerly located in the village of Boston, which was moved to Peninsula in 1968.[3] The building may be the only surviving combination station from the Valley Railway.[4]
