History [ edit ]
On July 31, 1848, the first train rolled into Dover over the Morris & Essex Railroad . In 1863, the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad (DL&W ) acquired the Morris & Essex line. On November 1, 1901, this new Lackawanna Station was opened in Dover with the arrival of the Buffalo Express at 3:00 p.m. It was met by a citizens' committee and the Dover Cornet Band. After the dedication ceremonies, a dinner was served at the Mansion House Hotel.
Station layout and services [ edit ]
Both the Morristown Line and the Montclair-Boonton Line serve this station, with service to Hoboken or to New York City via Midtown Direct . On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, no trains travel further west than Dover.
There is a single center high center platform and a ticket agent in the building 7 days a week. A NJ Transit rail yard is located east of the station.
Most outbound Morristown Line and some Montclair-Boonton Line trains currently terminate at this station, as Dover is the end of electrification. Diesel service continues west to the terminus at Hackettstown .
