History
The station in Bernardsville commenced operations on January 29, 1872, marked by the inaugural departure of a New Jersey West Line Railroad train heading toward Summit station.
Station layout
Situated on the northern side of the railway tracks, the station building constructed from stone masonry was crafted by architect Bradford L. Gilbert. This structure currently accommodates a convenience store and deli inside a roomy area with high ceilings, which was once utilized as a bank branch. Amenities include a ticket vending machine and public restroom facilities. In 1984, the station building earned placement on both the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places, recognized as part of the Operating Passenger Railroad Stations Thematic Resource.
Parking options include an annual permit priced at $377, complemented by limited hourly parking spaces and designated free short-term parking available after 10 a.m. Near the entrance for pedestrians leading to the parking area stands a statue honoring former U.S. Representative Millicent Fenwick.
The station is equipped with one low-level side platform, accompanied by a walkway crossing over the main track to provide access to the outer track.
