Berlin is a train station in Kensington, Connecticut located on the New Haven-Springfield Line. It serves both Kensington and nearby Berlin, which is why it is also known as Kensington-Berlin Amtrak Station. The station was originally built in 1900 by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, and was recently planned for restoration. It is also a proposed stop by the Connecticut Department of Transportation for a new commuter service called the New Haven-Hartford-Springfield Commuter Rail Line.
