Station layout
The current station is a large platform near the old one, a 1909 brick edifice known for its distinctive clock tower and which is the focal point of Waterbury's skyline. The old station is now the offices of the Republican-American, Waterbury's daily newspaper. The modern station has one high-level side platform to the east of the tracks long enough for one and a half train cars to receive and discharge passengers. The platform has a roof that covers it. A Metro-North siding is located just south of the station. The siding was once track one, directly adjacent to the old station. A section of the track was removed, and the parking lot built in its place. There is also a small coach yard to the west of the station.
The station is owned and operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, but Metro-North is responsible for maintaining platform lighting as well as trash and snow removal.[1] Parking is first-come, first-serve and operated by the city of Waterbury.[1]
