Beacon Falls station is acommuter rail stop on theWaterbury Branch of theMetro-North Railroad'sNew Haven Line, located inBeacon Falls, Connecticut. With just 14 daily passengers as of 2018, the station is one of the least used stations in the entire Metro-North system.
After closing in 1949, the station reopened on October 27, 1991. When the station closed, it was a flag stop served by one train a day per direction.[4]
The station has one low-levelside platform to the east of the single track, long enough for one door of one car to receive and discharge passengers.[citation needed]
The station is owned and operated by theConnecticut Department of Transportation, but Metro-North is responsible for maintaining platform lighting as well as trash and snow removal.[1] The station has 28 parking spaces operated by the town of Beacon Falls.[1][2]
As of 2024[update], the state plans to add an accessible high-level platform at the station, with construction to take place from 2025 to 2027.[5]
