The New York and New England Railroad (and predecessor Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad) served a station named Claytons at Cedar Street.[3] It opened around 1872, supplementing and ultimately replacing Pratts station, and was closed sometime after 1915.[4]

An access road for the station, Myra Cohen Way, is named for longtime Newington councilwoman Myra Cohen.[5]
