This station, a U.S Coast and Geodetic Survey standard bench mark disk, is located in New Milford, CT. It is set in the west end of a culvert under the Housatonic Railroad track bed, and is positioned between the track bed and River Road:

DESCRIBED BY COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY 1935 1.4 MI S FROM GAYLORDSVILLE. 1.4 MILES SOUTH ALONG THE NEW YORK, NEW HAVEN AND HARTFORD RAILROAD FROM THE STATION AT GAYLORDSVILLE, LITCHFIELD COUNTY, 50 FEET EAST OF THE CENTERLINE OF A ROAD, 40 FEET WEST OF THE WEST RAIL, AT A 30-INCH PIPE CULVERT, IN THE TOP OF THE WEST HEADWALL, 4 FEET NORTH OF THE SOUTH END OF THE HEADWALL, AND 25 FEET LOWER THAN THE RAIL. A STANDARD DISK, STAMPED W 15 1935.

The 'road' in the description is River Road. The culvert has a 30-in diameter iron pipe. There is also a power pole approx 75-ft NW from the mark as well. Approaching the mark from River Road is easier and safer than from the railroad bed.
