Convent Station (NJ Transit)
Convent Station is a rail stop on the Morristown Line operated by NJ Transit, located within the campus of Saint Elizabeth University in Convent Station, New Jersey.
The station originally opened in 1867, with a modest wooden building erected in 1876 that was designated Convent Station. The existing station house, built between 1913 and 1914, includes two side platforms. The station building, positioned on the eastbound platform, provides a ticket office and a waiting area available during weekdays. A brick shelter accommodates passengers on the westbound side, while a former freight depot remains situated alongside the eastbound track. Access to the university’s main entrance is gained via a level crossing at the platform’s eastern extremity.
This station supports nearby commercial centers, notably the headquarters of Honeywell located to the north and Pfizer’s facility at Giralda Farms to the east. Running alongside the rail line is the Traction Line Recreation Trail, which follows the former path of the Morris County Traction Company.
Station layout
Two tracks run through the station, each served by a low-level side platform.
