The Boston Surface Railroad Company, the train startup that began using the Woonsocket Depot as its headquarters in 2015, will vacate the station in January, company executives confirmed to The Valley Breeze last week. The move is part of a settlement with the Rhode Island Department of Transportation following a months-long legal battle over the company’s use of the state-owned station.
