History

The depot at Wallingford was built in 1871 by the Hartford & New Haven Railroad on the Springfield Line, and was built in a mannner similar to that of Windsor Station. The interior of the building closed as a station in 1994 and is now used for adult education and the New Haven Model Railroad Club but trains still stop there today. The line through Wallingford was doubled tracked until 1990 when it was single tracked. Today there are 15 passenger trains a day and a daily roundtrip freight in daylight on the Springfield Line. Wallingford Station has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1993.

Mansard Roof

Wallingford's train station has a distinctive mansard roof. The building is presently the Wallingford Adult Education center.
