Profile >>
The New Haven Line, operated by MTA Metro-North Railroad, consists of the New Haven main line and the New Canaan, Danbury and Waterbury branch lines. Commencing with the April 4, 2004 New Haven Line timetable, there were a daily total of 262 scheduled weekday trains, 168 Saturday trains and 136 Sunday and holiday trains.

Weekday intrastate service was enhanced in response to the Governor's I-95 Initiative and the goals of the Coastal Corridor Coalition. Shore Line East service continues beyond New Haven with two morning express trains to Bridgeport and Stamford and two evening express trains from Stamford to Bridgeport, New Haven and the shoreline. Additionally, two morning trains provide limited stop service from Stamford to New Haven and two early afternoon trains provide limited stop service from New Haven to Stamford. The Transportation Strategy Board provided funding for this new Shore Line East Express service to Stamford.

New Haven's State Street Station, which provides easy access to downtown, opened in June 2002. Two morning New Haven Line trains continue east of New Haven's Union Station to provide service to State Street Station. Four evening trains originate at State Street Station and provide westbound service. Four new Genesis diesel locomotives and 10 new Bombardier coaches were purchased to enhance the New Haven Line fleet.
