Grove Street station is an at-grade light rail stop situated in the Silver Lake neighborhood within Bloomfield, New Jersey. It functions as the western endpoint for the Newark City Subway portion of the New Jersey Transit Newark Light Rail, providing a direct connection to Penn Station located in Newark.
To the east of this station lies the vehicle maintenance yard. Grove Street is equipped with a single island platform servicing two tracks and complies with ADA accessibility standards. Approximately one block away, beyond the loop serving the maintenance facility, there is a 160-space park and ride parking lot. The station is also in close proximity to the Watsessing Avenue station on New Jersey Transit's Montclair-Boonton Line.
Commissioned on June 22, 2002, Grove Street was introduced as part of an extension stretching from Branch Brook Park station in Newark to Bloomfield, which also included a stop at Silver Lake in Belleville. This route traces the former path of the Erie Railroad Orange Branch, which historically connected Newark's Forest Hill area to West Orange. The earlier Bloomfield Avenue station was positioned just one block west of Grove Street. Passenger service on this branch ceased on May 20, 1955.[1]
