Waterbury (Metro-North station)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Waterbury Metro-North Railroad station serves residents of Waterbury, Connecticut and surrounding areas at the north terminal of the Waterbury Branch of the New Haven Line. All service on the Waterbury Branch is shuttle service to Bridgeport running on very light frequencies (six trains daily weekdays, four weekends); travel time to Bridgeport is 51 minutes, New Haven an average of one hour, 30 minutes, and Grand Central an average of two hours, 13 minutes.

The station is 87.5 miles to Grand Central, the farthest such point in the Metro-North system from there by rail, though closer as the crow flies than Wassaic, the northern terminal on the Harlem Line.

As of 2003, the station had 156 parking spaces, all owned by the state.^[1]
