Rowayton (Metro-North New Haven Line)

Rowayton is a new Haven Line local stop that receives base service off peak every hour (with other semi-express trains stopping at other hours skipping the station). The station has two six-car long side platforms for the four track line, that begin just above the bridge over Rowayton Avenue and run east. Staircases leading up from Rowayton Avenue's sidewalk are the only way to change platforms. Each platform has parking along it. The New Haven-bound platform has a simple double-wide bus shelter for waiting passengers. The New York-bound platform contains the station's simple white single story station house. In front of this station house there is a simple canopy structure that covers about 2 train cars.
