Bridgeport Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of Bridgeport, Connecticut and its surrounding towns that do not have a Metro-North stop via the New Haven Line (like Trumbull). The station is the transfer point between the Waterbury Branch and the Northeast Corridor mainline. Beside Metro-North service, Amtrak's Northeast Regional and Vermonter stop at the station as do Shore Line East trains.〔There is no Amtrak ticket office at the station, but there are "Quick-Trak" machines accessible during station hours.(【引用サイトリンク】title=Amtrak - Stations - Bridgeport, CT (BRP) )〕 In addition the transfer point for Greater Bridgeport Transit Authority buses, the departure point for the Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Ferry across Long Island Sound to Port Jefferson, New York, and both the Arena at Harbor Yard and the Ballpark at Harbor Yard are located adjacent to the station. It is from Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time is one hour, 21 minutes. Opened in 1975, the current station was designed by the local architectural firm of Antinozzi Associates.〔 In an unusual move, the station spans the six lanes of Water Street, with the passenger waiting room located over the roadway. The simple concrete facades are scored with vertical lines or channels to create a textured surface. Throughout the day, as the sun rakes across the walls, the channels—of varying depth and width—produce a range of ever-changing shadows. Boxy in appearance and punctuated by rectangular windows, the station’s angularity is softened by the rounded edges of the access towers.〔 ==Platform and track configuration== This station has two high-level side platforms, each eight cars long. The western platform, adjacent to Track 3, is generally used by westbound Metro-North trains or southbound Amtrak trains. The eastern platform, adjacent to Track 4, is generally used by eastbound Metro-North trains or northbound Amtrak trains. Waterbury Branch trains use either platform. The New Haven Line has four tracks at this location. The two inner tracks, not adjacent to either platform, are used only by express trains. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bridgeport (Metro-North station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
