context_page_description: Hamden is a proposed regional rail station on the New Haven–Springfield Line, to be located in Hamden, Connecticut and served by the Hartford Line. A location study for the station was funded in January 2015. A station called Quinnipiack was located in Hamden from 1871 to the early 20th century. Hamden and the other infill stations are planned to be complete by 2022.
context_section_description: The Hartford and New Haven Railroad (H&NH) opened from New Haven to Meriden in December 1838. A station was opened on the line off State Street (Route 5) opposite Foote Street in 1871. Originally to be named East Hamden, it was ultimately named Quinnipiack as an alternate spelling of the nearby Quinnipiac River. The stop was discontinued in the 1920s; the small station building was moved to Chester, Connecticut where it is used by the Valley Railroad.
