State Street Station (also known as New Haven-State Street) is the secondary railroad passenger station in New Haven, Connecticut located 1.8 miles northeast of the primary station in the city, Union Station. The station opened on June 7, 2002, for Shore Line East trains and June 24, 2002, for Metro-North Railroad trains. It is the penultimate westbound stop for the majority of Shore Line East runs and is the terminal of Metro-North's New Haven Line for a limited number of peak-hour runs.

[edit] Shore Line East

With the exception of the earliest inbound and latest outbound runs (which run super-express to Old Saybrook or New London), all trains stop here. Travel time to Union Station is approximately two minutes.

[edit] Metro-North

During peak hours, a mixture of "super-express" trains to Grand Central Terminal and locals to Stamford arrive or leave at the station. As of May 2006, the pattern is as follows:

• To Grand Central: 4 PM runs
• To Stamford: 2 AM runs
• From Grand Central: 1 AM run
• From Stamford: 1 AM run, 2 PM runs

State Street is located 74 miles from Grand Central and the mean travel time is 1 hour, 52 minutes though this varies by run.

[edit] Platform and track configuration

This station has one three-car-long high-level island platform.

The New Haven Line has four tracks at this location. The platform is adjacent to Tracks 4 and 6. The two northern side tracks, numbered 1 and 2, are not adjacent to the platform and are used only by through trains.

Should the state of Connecticut begin commuter service north of New Haven to Hartford and Springfield it is speculated a new platform will be added between tracks 1 and 2.
