Location

Map

Garfield is a New Jersey Transit train station served by the Bergen County Line in the cityofGarfield. Located north of a trestle over Midland Avenue (County Route 67), the station consists of two low-level platforms with a shelter and a pair of ticket vending machines.

Garfield station has hourly weekday inbound service to Hoboken Terminal/Secaucus Junction until the afternoon, with the last train leaving Garfield before 4:00 pm. Return service continues all day, with the last train stopping at approximately 1:00 am. Weekend service operates on a more frequent basis inbound.

History[edit]

Until somewhat recently, both stations in Garfield were relatively bare bones in structure. However, in 2011, Plauderville, the other station in Garfield, received a major upgrade by means of new high level handicap-accessible platforms.[6] Coupled with its much greater amount of parking in comparison to Garfield Station, it receives higher ridership.[6]

The station depot at Garfield burned down in 1973.[7][8]

Station layout[edit]

The station has two tracks, each with a low-level side platform.

Parking is also very limited, as there are only bicycle racks on the Hoboken-bound platform and no street automobile parking. Pedestrian access is available via two staircases on Passaic Street, and at grade level on Somerset Street which runs near the end of the platforms.
