Railroad history

The New York and New England Railroad (and predecessor Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad) served a station approximately at the modern location.[3] It opened around 1850 as West Hartford and was renamed to Elmwood in 1874.[4] It may have been served until the end of passenger service between Hartford and New Britain in 1959.[3] Trains using the parallel Springfield Line, originally built by the Hartford and New Haven Railroad, did not stop at Elmwood.
