Amtrak's Vermonter train travels to a number of popular destinations in the northeast. It runs daily from northern Vermont all the way down to Washington, D.C.

A train ride through Connecticut is a great way to experience the Constitution State. Trains allow you to admire the scenery better than you could while driving in a car. Not having to worry about gas station fill-ups or traffic jams are another major benefit!

The northernmost train station in Connecticut is Windsor Locks.

Windsor Locks is home to the New England Air Museum, a fascinating spot with a collection of more than 80 aircraft. It's also not far from the beautiful Enfield Falls.

Amtrak runs through nine Connecticut towns on this route.

The southernmost train station on the Vermonter route is Stamford. It's one of the largest cities in Connecticut and there's lots to do here.

If you love nature, this is a great day trip in Connecticut for you! Walk miles of trails at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center. Be sure to check out Cove Island Park, too!

Many enjoy riding the train just for the experience of sight-seeing. This is such a unique way to check out Connecticut, and way more interesting than being stuck in a car for hours.
