Windsor is a historic railroad station in downtown Windsor, Connecticut. It is served by Amtrak's New Haven-Springfield Line which branches off from the Northeast Corridor in New Haven.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation plans to add a new commuter rail service called the Hartford Line in collaboration with Amtrak and the federal government that will run between New Haven and Springfield, Massachusetts. As of late 2015, funding had been secured and the service is scheduled to begin operation in early 2018.^[3]

Services

The station is served by Connecticut Transit bus routes 32, 34, and 36, which provides service to downtown Hartford.

History

Windsor Station was originally built in 1870 as the Hartford & New Haven Railroad Depot and rebuilt to its original Victorian architecture by Town of Windsor, Amtrak and the Greater Hartford Transit District in 1988, the same year it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.^[4] A former freight house is located nearby, which now serves as the home of the Windsor Arts Center.
