The New York and New England Railroad (and predecessor Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad) served a station named Claytons at Cedar Street. It opened around 1872, supplementing and ultimately replacing Pratts station, and was closed sometime after 1915.
An access road for the station, Myra Cohen Way, is named for longtime Newington councilwoman Myra Cohen.
