Glen Rock–Main Line is among the two train stations managed by New Jersey Transit within the borough of Glen Rock, located in Bergen County, along the Main Line. Its designation as Glen Rock–Main Line serves to differentiate it from the nearby Glen Rock–Boro Hall station, which lies two blocks to the east on Rock Road (County Route 134).
History
Rail service at Glen Rock–Main Line commenced on October 19, 1848, coinciding with the inauguration of the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad, which linked the Erie Railroad at Suffern to the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad in Paterson. Originally, this station was referred to as Rock Road. After acquiring the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad, the Erie Railroad established a second Glen Rock station named Ferndale in 1894.
Situated at Ferndale Avenue, just south of Rock Road, a railroad terminal functioned as a yard for the Newark Branch of the Erie Railroad starting in 1902. This facility was closed in 1903 following the construction of a new yard in Waldwick. The existing station building was completed in November 1905.
Station layout
The station consists of two tracks accompanied by low-level side platforms and does not meet the requirements set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
