Glen Rock-Boro Hall is a station on NJT's Bergen County Line. Two round trips a day of the Port Jervis Line also serve this station. Glen Rock-Boro Hall is located at Harding Plaza in Glen Rock, New Jersey.  History When this station was built in 1881 with the rest of the Bergen County Railroad, it was originally called Paramus. Unfortunately for Bergen County and much of the rest of New Jersey, Boroughitis happened between 1890 and 1930. This process caused this station to become Glen Rock-Boro Hall in 1891. Not much else is known. It's likely that this is not the original station building, and that it was replaced sometime after the 1960s. The waiting room closed at some point afterwards as well.  Tour Glen Rock-Boro Hall is an average NJT station that's not along the Northeast Corridor. A lot of them are like this .  Old depot?

Teterboro is a station on NJT's Pascack Valley Line. The station is located along Green street near the overpass with US-46 in the borough of Teterboro, NJ.  Tour This picture is almost all of Teterboro station. What a station it is.  That is the single platform. It's very thin, with more space for the tracks than the actual station itself. Folded bike for comparison Much of the small platform is the very wide yellow line, which lacks a tactile strip.  Closer look at the yellow strip Behind the platform is a guard rail from a highway, probably added to seperate the parking lot from the platform. This probably has to do with the fact that the platform itself is asphalt.  Another view of tracks and fence That fence wasn't always there. People often used to get to this station from the dead end street to the west of the station named Williams Avenue. the fence itself was installed in Feb...

Ridgewood is a station on NJT's Main Line. The station is located in Ridgewood, New Jersey.  History The station, sometime before 1915 Ridgewood station first started life along what was formerly the Paterson and Ramapo railroad, as "Godwinville" station, in 1848. This station was rebuilt in 1856 and 1859. In 1866, the station was renamed to Ridgewood due to the popularity of the new name for the town. The station was rebuilt again in 1915, to grade separate the whole line. In 2011, the station was remodeled to make it accessible.  At its peak, Ridgewood station was a regional transfer point between many different services heading to far flung locations such as Chicago. But of course, those days couldn't last forever, and no more intercity service stops at Ridgewood station. Despite this, the station is still important in a regional context.   Services That Run Here Three services run here: Main Line : Hoboken to Suffern via Passaic County Ber...
