Waterbury, also known as Waterbury-Stowe, is an Amtrak train station in Waterbury, Vermont. It was originally built in 1875 by the Central Vermont Railroad.[2]

During 2006, the station underwent a major renovation project, during which the building was restored to its 1875 appearance. Corrective structural work was done on the trackside wall and canopy and water drainage problems were addressed. Workers also rebuilt the bell-shaped cupola on the top of the central tower. Inside, partitions were removed to expose the original 18-foot-high vaulted ceiling. Green Mountain Coffee now leases most of the space in the depot.[3]
