Stamford Train Station
The Stamford Depot of the New York and New Haven Railroad - 1868 ![]() |
Stamford,Connecticut is the on Long Island Sound and was settled 1641. Daily trains began running on regular schedule through Stamford on January 1, 1849. The depot pictured below was built in 1867 and stood a short distance east of what is now the junction of Atlantic and State Streets. At that time, the railroad had two tracks and passed through town on ground level and crossed the streets at grade.
In the mid-1890s two additional tracks were added, and most crossings were elevated and bridged. As a result, the depot was razed and covered over, and a new railroad station was built.
