Track crossing at Branford station, photographed in May 2013. The crossing was built along with the station in 2005; it was not used in regular service, but only if a disruption caused passengers to be boarded or deboarded on the far track which did not have a platform at that time. A portable lift was available for passengers who could not climb stairs. A westbound platform, opened in 2016, eliminated the need for the track crossing.
