East Norwalk station is a commuter rail station on the Metro-North Railroad New Haven Line, located in the East Norwalk neighborhood of Norwalk, Connecticut. The station building was constructed by Metro-North in the 1980s.[3]
The Founder's Stone Monument, which formerly located at East Avenue and Fitch Street, is adjacent to the station.[4][5] It marks the earliest Norwalk settlement and adjacent first Meeting House (seat of government), which were located at its former site.[6]
History
East Norwalk station first opened in 1885 to serve the quickly growing East Norwalk neighborhood.[7] The original station building was replaced c. 1897 by a smaller structure on the opposite side of the tracks.[7] That station would continue to serve until c. 1939 when it was replaced by another structure across the tracks and subsequently removed.[7] A separate westbound shelter was built some time around 1950, and both structures would serve until the current building was constructed by Metro-North in the 1980s.[3][7]
Station layout
The station has two offset high-level side platforms, each four cars long, serving the outer tracks of the four-track Northeast Corridor.[8]: 21 The platforms are offset, with the westbound platform west of East Street and the eastbound platform to the east.
