A new double-track train station supporting a rail line between Hartford and Springfield, Massachusetts, as well as the historic downtown train station, are both expected to be constructed and renovated by early this fall. The $65 million new train station has been under construction for about three years, and the “major initiative” is expected to revitalize downtown Windsor Locks by attracting new daily visitors, First Selectman Scott Storms said. The historic train station is also being renovated to compliment the new modern train station, with both expected to be completed by September, Storms said. Meanwhile, the state has awarded a $4 million grant for brownfield remediation on the parcel adjacent to the train station. The grant will be used to clean up ash and waste on the land, as the historic train station used the property for a dumping ground.
