Connecticut expands Hartford Line rail service

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has announced an expansion of service on the CTrail Hartford Line, effective Monday, November 16.

The service enhancements include a new weekday round-trip train between New Haven and Hartford, as well as an extended weekday morning southbound train originating in Springfield. Additionally, weekend service will be extended to include stops at Windsor and Windsor Locks.

These upgrades are supported by funding from the Federal Railroad Administration’s Restoration and Enhancement Program. The grant will also fund expanded customer service hours at Hartford Union Station, which are scheduled to begin in January.
