Everything about Noroton Heights Metro-north Station totally explained
The
Noroton Heights Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of
Darien, Connecticut via the
New Haven Line. It is 36.2 miles from
Grand Central Terminal.
The station is located near Exit 10 on
Interstate 95. The highway borders the southern side of the station, which faces Heights Road to the north, Hollow Tree Ridge Road to the west and has access to Noroton Avenue to the east (via Ledge Road). The station is one of two in Darien; the other is the
Darien Metro-North train station.
The Noroton Heights station building is "unique in that it resembles an overgrown
Plexiglass [sic] shelter protected by a metal lean-to," according to a January 2007 state
Department of Transportation report. According to the report, the station is a "notable alternative to the downtown Stamford train station. The Noroton Heights station isn't compliant with the
Americans with Disabilities Act. All the railroad parking at the station (772 spaces) is owned by the state. The farthest available parking spaces are as much as 1,500 feet from the station.
As of January 2007,
Northeast Utilities had plans to put an underground 345-kV cable along the south edge of the eastbound parking lot (just north of Interstate 95). The state Department of Transportation agreed to the location because it would "minimize the potential impact to any future parking structure built at this site." Across the train tracks from "The Depot" is the Post 53 ambulance unit (which previously occupied "The Depot" building before moving into its more modern headquarters).
In recent years the town government of Darien has been collecting parking revenue from the station, which has gone into an improvement fund. As of 2007, the town planned to replace stairs at the station "soon".
