Proposed Thompsonville train station would restore rail service to Enfield for first time since 1986

When the long-awaited train station is up and running in the Thompsonville section of town, state transportation officials say it will reconnect Enfield to other parts of Connecticut and beyond. The proposed project would provide a convenient alternative to car travel, and connect the town via Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor to New York and Boston, according to the state Department of Transportation. Another train station is currently under construction in Windsor Locks and is scheduled to open in 2025. Construction of the Enfield station is anticipated to begin in spring 2025, depending on the acquisition of rights of way and approval of permits. According to the DOT, the estimated construction cost for the project is about $45.5 million, and with an anticipated 40 percent coming from federal funds and 60 percent from state funds.
