Location

Naugatuck station is a commuter rail station on the Waterbury Branch of the Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line, located in Naugatuck, Connecticut.

Station layout

The station has one low-level side platform on the west side of the single track. It is owned and operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, but Metro-North is responsible for maintaining platform lighting as well as trash and snow removal. The station has 125 parking spaces operated by the borough of Naugatuck.

History

Rail service in Naugatuck dates back to the 1840s with the establishment of the Naugatuck Railroad. The Naugatuck was acquired by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, which built a new station house between 1908 and 1910, and opened it in 1911. The old station was designed by Henry Bacon, one of America's foremost architects. This former station building was recently the headquarters for the Naugatuck Historical Society and is now The Station Restaurant.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation plans to relocate the station about 0.3 miles (0.48 km) south. The relocated station will have a 350-foot (110 m) high-level accessible platform (long enough for a four-car train) and additional parking. The new location is on straight track, rather than the curved track of the existing station; the relocation allows for the high-level platform and the possible future addition of a second track. It is on an embankment; a two-story elevator tower will connect the parking area to the platform. As of November 2023, construction is expected to begin in spring 2025 and cost $26 million. As of June 2024, the project is expected to be advertised for bidding in October 2024.
