Beacon Falls station is a commuter rail stop on the Waterbury Branch of the Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line, located in Beacon Falls, Connecticut. With just 14 daily passengers, the station is one of the least used stations in the entire Metro-North system.
After closing in 1949, the station reopened on October 27, 1991. When the station closed, it was a flag stop served by one train a day per direction.[4]
The station has one low-level side platform to the east of the single track, long enough for one door of one car to receive and discharge passengers.[citation needed]
The station is owned and operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, but Metro-North is responsible for maintaining platform lighting as well as trash and snow removal.[1] The station has 28 parking spaces operated by the town of Beacon Falls.[1][2]
