The Danbury Metro-North Railroad station serves residents of Danbury, Connecticut and surrounding areas at the north terminus of the Danbury Branch of the New Haven Line. Since the Danbury Branch is mostly a single track, most service is a shuttle to South Norwalk with three peak-hour runs to Grand Central; service to South Norwalk takes approximately 47 minutes, service to Grand Central 1 hour, 55 minutes. The station is 64.9 miles (104.4 km) to Grand Central; it is adjacent to both the Danbury Railway Museum and the hub for Housatonic Area Regional Transit. The station has 147 parking spaces, all owned by the state.

The present passenger station was built 1996 by ConnDOT and replaces the older New Haven Railroad station, now the Danbury Railway Museum.

This station has one three-car-long high-level island platform serving arriving and departing trains. The Danbury Branch has three tracks at this location. The northern track is a stub that terminates at the platform, while the southern two tracks allow for continued travel to or from the north and the train yard. The southern-most track is not adjacent to the platform.
