In 1890, the railroad was elevated, and four tracked, eliminating several grade crossings. At that time, the old depot (one building) was moved from its location west of the King Street viaduct to its present location off of Main St.

I am a former Stratford resident, now riding the Harlem Line from Wassaic,
