The North Danbury station is a proposed commuter rail stop on the Danbury Branch of the Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line, to be located in Danbury, Connecticut.
History
Plans call for the station to be located at the current park and ride at 67 White Turkey Road Ext, adjacent to the Brookfield-Danbury border.[1] Original plans for the station had surfaced in 2009–2010, when a study was conducted to determine the viability of the station.[2] Although plans had gone under for a while, improvements being made to the line by the State of Connecticut could mean a station in the near future.[3]
