History
The station at Allenhurst commenced operations on May 17, 1897, taking over from the Interlaken station along the New York and Long Branch Railroad, which was a collaborative venture between the Central Railroad of New Jersey and Pennsylvania Railroad. Following this transition, Interlaken was designated as a stop only on Sundays until it ceased operations entirely on July 31, 1904. In August 1980, despite the station building’s poor condition, Allenhurst was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Agent services at Allenhurst were discontinued by New Jersey Transit on July 1, 1981, and the original wooden depot was torn down on April 13, 1982. Although the structure no longer exists, the station retains its listing on the National Register.
