Englewood refers to a historic railroad depot situated at Depot Square within Englewood, New Jersey. This station was once served by the Erie Railroad on its Northern Branch line and is positioned in the city's downtown area along a rail corridor now utilized as a branch by CSX Transportation. Originally, the Depot Plaza stop was among the initial stations on the Northern Railroad of New Jersey, alongside Van Brunts (which was later renamed Nordhoff) and Highwood, subsequently known as Hudson Avenue.

Over time, the structure has been adapted for various uses, including dining establishments, a music recording facility, and an arts education center. The planned Northern Branch Corridor Project, which aims to extend the Hudson–Bergen Light Rail, would run past this station on its route.

Northern Branch and HBLR

This station formed part of the suburban Northern Branch operated by the Erie Railroad (NRRNJ), connecting from Pavonia Terminal on the Hudson River in Jersey City. Passenger operations ceased in 1966 following rerouting of trains to Hoboken Terminal, although service northward into Rockland County, New York persisted.

The Northern Branch Corridor Project represents a proposed expansion by New Jersey Transit (NJT) to extend the Hudson–Bergen Light Rail along this corridor with additional stops. Progress has been hindered primarily due to financial constraints. This extension would pass by the former Erie station site and conclude at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center. The municipality advocates for a station at Depot Square rather than NJT’s suggested Englewood Town Center Station located further south, emphasizing Depot Square’s status as both a commercial and cultural focal point, as well as its historical significance as a rail location. Additionally, a third station named Englewood Route 4 is planned near the junction of Route 4 and Route 93.

Bennett Studios

Between 2001 and 2011, the former station building was utilized as Bennett Studios, a 6,500-square-foot recording facility established by Dae Bennett, who is the son of renowned singer Tony Bennett.

The Performing Arts School at BergenPAC

Since 2013, this edifice has served as home to the Performing Arts School affiliated with the Bergen Performing Arts Center. The institution provides students with opportunities to perform on the main theater stage and throughout Bergen County, including outreach initiatives targeting local school districts and groups with special needs.
