Clinton station (Connecticut)

[3] A combination depot (serving both freight and passengers) similar to others on the line was located on the south side of the tracks east of John Street in downtown Westbrook.

Twelve days before, the older station had been moved 700 feet (210 m) to the west for use as a freight house, a function it served until the 1950s.

As part of the sale, Chesebrough-Pond's paid for a small shelter to be built slightly to the east at Hull Street.

[9][10][11] The Clamdigger was reinstated on January 8, 1978, with commuter-based flag stops added at Groton, Clinton, Madison, Stony Creek, and Branford.

[12][13]: 1  It was replaced by the Boston-New Haven Beacon Hill effective April 30, 1978, ending service to Clinton a second time.

[15] The rebuilt Clinton station, with a two car long, 200-foot-long high-level platform on the south side of the tracks, opened on July 25, 2005.

[24][25] Funding was nearly withdrawn in December 2018, but town officials convinced the state to allow the project to proceed.
