After years of waiting, new Enfield train platform could hel

When the state Bond Commission last month approved $35 million for a new Hartford Line train platform in Enfield, it did more than signal a faster, more convenient rail commute to Hartford and Springfield for area residents.

“For the last 10 to 15 years, Enfield’s been on a list of places waiting for this funding,” said Enfield Mayor Bob Cressotti. “This is going to be a real boon for us. This is the key to reinvigorating the Thompsonville section of town.”
