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

Station layout

The station has one low-level side platform to the west of the tracks, long enough for one door of one car to receive and discharge passengers. The eastern track is a freight siding, not adjacent to the platform. The station 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.[1] A small parking lot is managed by the town of Seymour.[1]

History

The Naugatuck Railroad opened from Milford north to Seymour in May 1849, with the extension to Waterbury opening the next month.[4] The original wooden station was replaced in 1898 by a buff brick station, now demolished. A small modern brick shelter was installed in the 1980s or 1990s.[5]
