East Norwalk station is a commuter rail station on the Metro-North Railroad New Haven Line, located in the East Norwalk neighborhood of Norwalk, Connecticut. The station building was constructed by Metro-North in the 1980s.[3]
The Founder's Stone Monument, which formerly located at East Avenue and Fitch Street, is adjacent to the station.[4][5] It marks the earliest Norwalk settlement and adjacent first Meeting House (seat of government), which were located at its former site.[6]
The station has two offset high-level side platforms, each four cars long, serving the outer tracks of the four-track Northeast Corridor.[7]:21 The platforms are offset, with the westbound platform west of East Street and the eastbound platform to the east.
