Glen Rock–Main Line station


Glen Rock is one of two railroad stations operated by New Jersey Transit in the borough of Glen Rock, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. Located on the Main Line, the station is signed as Glen Rock - Main Line to differentiate it between the station on the Bergen County Line three blocks east on Rock Road. Glen Rock station boasts two low-level asphalt platforms, resulting in no accessibility for the handicapped as part of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Trains at Glen Rock serve Waldwick, Suffern, and Port Jervis to the north and Hoboken Terminal to the south, where access is available to New York City.
Service at Glen Rock began on October 19, 1848, with the opening of the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad, which connected the Erie Railroad at Suffern to the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad in Paterson. At that time, the station was known as Rock Road. The Erie Railroad, who took control of the Paterson and Ramapo, also opened a second station in Glen Rock, known as Ferndale in 1894. Located at Ferndale Avenue south of the Rock Road station, a railroad terminal was built at Ferndale and served as the yard for the Newark Branch of the Erie in 1902. The Erie discontinued that in 1903 when they finished the yard in Waldwick. The current station depot was finished in November 1905.
