Location

Glen Rock–Main Line is one of two railroad stations operated by New Jersey Transit in the borough of Glen Rock, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States on the Main Line. The station is named Glen Rock–Main Line to differentiate it from the Glen Rock–Boro Hall station, which lies two blocks east on Rock Road (County Route 134).

History

Glen Rock–Main Line station, c. 1907–1912

Service at Glen Rock–Main Line 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.

Station layout

The station has two tracks, each with a low-level side platform. The station is not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
