Garfield serves as a New Jersey Transit train station located on the Bergen County Line within Garfield, New Jersey. Positioned just to the north of a trestle spanning Midland Avenue (County Route 67), this station includes two low-level side platforms, a passenger shelter, and ticket vending machines.
On weekdays, inbound trains traveling to Hoboken Terminal and Secaucus Junction operate on an hourly schedule until mid-afternoon, with the final departure occurring before 4:00 pm. Outbound services return throughout the day, concluding near 1:00 am. Weekend inbound trains run at increased frequencies.
History
Both Garfield stations maintained minimal facilities until recent improvements. In 2011, Plauderville experienced significant renovations featuring new high-level platforms compliant with handicap accessibility standards. With substantially greater parking availability compared to Garfield Station, Plauderville has attracted a larger number of passengers.
The original Garfield station building was lost to a fire in 1973.
Station layout
This station consists of two tracks, each accompanied by a low-level side platform.
Parking options are extremely limited; only bicycle racks are available on the Hoboken-bound platform, and there is no automobile parking along adjacent streets. Pedestrian entry points include two stairways from Passaic Street and ground-level access from Somerset Street near the ends of the platforms.
