Hillsdale functions as an operational commuter railroad stop situated within the borough of Hillsdale, located in Bergen County, New Jersey. It is part of New Jersey Transit’s Pascack Valley Line and positioned at the junction of Broadway (County Route 104) and Hillsdale Avenue (County Route 112). Traveling northbound, the subsequent station is Woodcliff Lake, en route to Spring Valley, while heading southbound leads to Westwood toward Hoboken Terminal. The facility includes a single track accompanied by one low-level side platform next to the depot, and it does not provide ADA-compliant access.
Rail service commenced on March 4, 1870, marked by the inauguration of the Hackensack and New York Extension Railroad segment extending from Anderson Street station in Hackensack to Hillsdale. Within the borough, Hillsdale was one of two stations operated by the Erie Railroad, the other being Hillsdale Manor station, which opened in 1893.
History
Constructed in 1870 as both the terminus and headquarters for the New Jersey and New York Railroad, the original station house has been recognized on both the state and federal registers since 1984. This designation was initially part of the Operating Passenger Railroad Stations Thematic Resource. A substantial train yard formerly occupied the site now taken by Kings Super Markets.
Station layout
The station is equipped with a single track served by a low-level side platform. Parking with permits is overseen by the Borough of Hillsdale and distributed among four lots containing 170, 14, 15, and 69 spaces respectively. These permits can be obtained through the borough office. In addition, approximately twelve daily parking spots without permits are available at a rate of $5.00 per day, payable via an on-site collection box.
