New Haven, CT Register. 11/6/17:

 


New Wallingford train station makes debut

 

 

The only thing that was missing was a train.

 

The town’s new $21 million commuter rail station opened with great fanfare Monday as Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, along with state and other political leaders, took part in a ceremony celebrating the completion of work on the facility. Construction of the station, at 343 Cherry St., got underway in December 2014.
