Westbrook (Shore Line East Station)
Westbrook is a passenger rail station along the Shore Line East commuter rail line, which runs on the Northeast Corridor between New Haven and New London. Westbrook station consists of a small parking lot and one side platform on the southbound side of the tracks. A new station with a larger lot and two platforms is under construction; it is scheduled to open in 2013. The larger lot will allow the station, which is less than half a mile from I-95 and US-1, to serve as a park-and-ride station.
Westbrook is a commuter-only station; Amtrak's Acela Express and Northeast Regional services run through the station without stopping. Westbrook is served by about 7-10 midday and peak-direction rush hour Shore Line East trains in each direction on weekdays and 5 in each direction on weekends.

“Experience has taught me, when I am shaving of a morning, to keep watch over my thoughts, because, if a line of poetry strays into my memory, my skin bristles so that the razor ceases to act.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
