All Hartford Line trains stop at State Street, as well as most Shore Line East trains except for early mornings and late nights when the station is stupidly closed. During the week, some MNRR trains serve it but most don't as Union is where the crews work out of and where the yard is. I wish there was more MNRR service to State Street.

Amtrak Northeast Regionals that run along the shore to/from Boston and NYC/Washington/VA don't stop at State Street, as well as Acela services and the Vermonter.

yoooo tortillaria is my new favorite word. have to check one out sometime!

This is a wonderful rundown.

MNRR is nearly always on time, and the electrics they run are the most reliable trains in the country. The trips are padded, so you may get into Harlem or GCT early, and always early into New Haven. It's only 4-5 mins from West Haven.

But it's way too expensive. Interstate CT fares are okay. Try transit or biking to the station to save on a permit & stress. Have a good lock, though, on both frame and at least front wheel. There are covered spots outside next to the garage.
