Location

Westbrook station is a regional rail station on the Northeast Corridor, located off Connecticut Route 153 just north of the village center of Westbrook, Connecticut. It is served by the CT Rail's Shore Line East commuter rail service; Amtrak's Acela and Northeast Regional services run through the station without stopping. Westbrook has two high-level side platforms, each two cars long.

The first Westbrook station opened in 1852, was replaced in 1906, and closed in 1936. A new station for Shore Line East opened in 1990; and was rebuilt in 2001. A new station with a larger lot and two accessible platforms opened on March 25, 2014. The larger lot now allows the station, which is less than half a mile from Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1, to serve as a park-and-ride station.
