MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (WTNH) — Connecticut would add stops for commuters along the Danbury and Waterbury branches of the rail lines if a new proposal from state lawmakers goes through. 'I think it's really exciting that it's being considered,' Middletown Mayor Ben Florsheim said. The question now, he said, is how feasible it would be. He said the town would need a passenger station and parking. The proposal would add a stop in New Milford to the Danbury branch, and stops in Seymour, Shelton and Derby on the Waterbury branch.
