The station is 54.0 miles to Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time from there is 1 hour, 38 minutes regardless of through trains or transfers at Stamford or South Norwalk.[1] The station has 168 parking spaces, all owned by the state.[2] The station does not have a staffed ticket office and does not have ticket machines. Tickets may be purchased on board trains without a surcharge.[3] HistoryThe station house was built in the 1905 and is still in use. The building is now occupied by the Whistle Stop Bakery, which opened in the 1980s. The bakery was made for commuters who hurry in for a cup of coffee and a snack before boarding the Metro-North train to New York City.[4] The station is named for the surrounding Branchville neighborhood which in turn takes its name from a now defunct branch line off of the Norwalk to Danbury line that was built in the 1870s into the center of Ridgefield. The line was used for passenger service until 1925 and for freight service until 1964. The line is now a rail trail and high voltage power line corridor.[1][5][6] Station responsibility
