New Windsor Locks Station – Now Open

All Amtrak and CTrail trains serving Windsor Locks now stop at the new station at 229 Main Street.

The former station on South Main Street station and its parking facilities are now permanently closed.


Special note for first-time visitors to the new station

If you are using the new station for the first time, please allow extra time.

Due to ongoing track construction, trains are currently boarding from a designated area at the far south end of the platform. Depending on where you park, the walk to the boarding area may take up to five minutes.

This page is written for people in western Massachusetts who wish to use the Windsor Locks Station in northern Connecticut — in particular people who live in Agawam, East Longmeadow, Granville, Longmeadow, Southwick and Tolland.

For residents of these towns, driving south to Windsor Locks to catch a southbound train toward Hartford, New Haven, or New York City can save both time and money. It avoids the drive north to Springfield Union Station only to ride the train south again.

One advantage that could make this station attractive to travelers from throughout western Massachusetts is that parking is free.
