The financial failure of the B&NYC in 1855 — Since B&NYC isn't used as an acronym anywhere else, mention it with "Boston and New York Central" on first mention.
Done
The financial failure of the B&NYC in 1855 led to the trustees of the bondholders of the Norfolk County Railroad taking back control of their line, which they leased to the Boston and Providence from 1855–1857, and then to the East Thompson Railroad from 1857–1858, after which the trustees operated the railroad and the Medway Branch themselves. This is a very long sentence. Consider splitting. The financial failure of the B&NYC in 1855 led to the trustees of the bondholders of the Norfolk County Railroad taking back control of their line.

What makes some of the railfan-y sources (e.g. Held) reliable?
Held isn't my favorite as a SPS, but it's all that's currently out there. I wouldn't use it for anything controversial, but here it doesn't support anything that's not obvious from Google Maps (or hell, the infobox image). Branch Line Press and the Boston Street Railway Association are both reliable publishers with good editorial standards.
2: This is the Held map. I'm trying to read it, but it's pictorial. It...seems...right? But I can't quite tell on my own.
5: MBTA page on the station. Lists 630 spaces. Y
9: Norfolk County map from 1858. Shows North Wrentham with station at the head of the branch line to Medway. Y
11: Incorporated as Town of Norfolk, 1870...Y
22: The MBTA press release doesn't mention a second platform. Where can I find that info?
I've removed "platform" - while adding the second track without a second platform would be nonsensical (
not that that's stopped the MBTA before...), you're entirely correct that it's not mentioned in the source.
