House on site of Danbury Depot - Digital photograph by Kenyon F. Karl - March 4, 1998
The remains of the station platform establishes the location of the Danbury Depot. A sign hangs from a post near the house with the words 'Danbury Depot', however the private residence adjacent to that platform shows none of the architectural characteristics that are usually associated with railroad stations. The Rail-trail runs alongside the south side of this building.
The heavy layer of crushed rock railroad ballast that greatly discourages warm weather trail use ends somewhere between the High Street crossing and the Ford Mill Road crossing. Accordingly, the trail is open for year-around usage northwest of the Ford Mill Road crossing.
