The nearest train station is 5 miles south in South Norwalk, which is a commuter rail stop for the Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line.

You can hop on I-95, the train or Merritt Parkway and it's less than an hour to the city.” Cranbury is also about 4 miles away from Norwalk Hospital, which can be reached via Newton Avenue.
