About:
Story 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 Shore Line East service.HistoryService 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 its 1972 discontinuance. The station building was demolished by Amtrak on February 23, 2000, due to concerns that the long-abandoned building might collapse. 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.Ridership increases have rendered the parking lot at Guilford insufficient. 90 spaces were added on the track 1 side of the Guilford stationGuilford Center was not the only part of Guilford with a train station. Leete's Island station, located off Route 146 near the Branford line, served the Penn Central and later Amtrak Clamdigger service until 1972. Sachem's Head station, which was also located off Route 146 closer to Guilford Center, was closed in 1969.
