Elmwood is a bus rapid transit station on the CTfastrak line, located near the intersection of New Britain Avenue (CT-529) and New Park Avenue in West Hartford, Connecticut. It opened with the line on March 28, 2015.[1] The station consists of two side platforms serving the busway, with two center passing lanes to allow express buses to pass buses stopped at the station.[2]
Railroad history
The New York and New England Railroad (and predecessor Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad) served a station approximately at the modern location.[3] It opened around 1850 as West Hartford and was renamed to Elmwood in 1874.[4] It may have been served until the end of passenger service between Hartford and New Britain in 1959.[3] Trains using the parallel Springfield Line, originally built by the Hartford and New Haven Railroad, did not stop at Elmwood.
