Two high-level platforms, each six cars long connected by an overhead pedestrian bridge opened at the Hartford Line service launch on June 16, 2018.

[3][4] It was replaced by a wooden station at the modern site in 1848,[3][4] after the original first depot was vacated and sold to Daniel C. Spencer sometime between 1840 and 1855, which he used a steam wheel shop until March 1, 1871.

[2] The New Haven replaced the 1848 station with a standard yellow brick design, similar to those extant at South Norwalk and Torrington, opening around August 24, 1893 on the east side of the mainline tracks.

[2] In the 1920s, a southbound station building (possibly a freight house) was constructed on the west side of the tracks.

The under-construction platforms and bridge were not significantly harmed, but Amtrak briefly stopped service to the station before resuming with a speed restriction.

[10] The rebuilt Berlin station partially opened on June 16, 2018, the same day the Hartford Line commuter rail commenced service, following Meriden and Wallingford in late 2017.

[11][12] Amenities at the new station include two high-level platforms connected by a pedestrian bridge, automatic snow melt systems, and train information displays.

[11] The Vermonter stops at Berlin and Wallingford stations were discontinued on June 9, 2018 due to the addition of Hartford Line service.
