Guilford Train Station - Guilford, CT - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

Guilford is a regional rail station on the Northeast Corridor, located slightly south of the town center of Guilford, Connecticut. Owned by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, it is served by the CTrail Shore Line East service.

Service to Guilford was begun by the New Haven and New London Railroad in 1852. Most local service ended in the mid 20th century; however, Guilford was a stop on the final local train, the Clamdigger, until service was discontinued on January 28, 1972. The station building was demolished by Amtrak on February 23, 2000, due to concerns that the long-abandoned building might collapse.[4] A derelict brick water tower and engine house–rare surviving examples of mid-19th-century railroad buildings–remain at the site.

The current station, with ADA-compliant high-level side platforms, opened on November 28, 2005, replacing the low-level platforms constructed in 1990 for the inauguration of Shore Line East service on May 29, 1990.
