Template:Infobox station

Ho-Ho-Kus functions as a rail stop within the NJ Transit system, accommodating services on both the Bergen County Line and the Main Line. This station is situated in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, positioned at the intersection of Brookside Avenue and 1st Street, close to the Warren Avenue bridge that crosses Franklin Turnpike.

History

The existing westbound station structure, built in 1908 using river stones and topped with a tile roof, was erected to replace earlier facilities dating back to 1886 which were destroyed by fire. Similarly, the original station from 1860 also burned down several years after its establishment. On the eastbound side, there is a uniquely shaped waiting shelter constructed in 1909.

Station layout

The facility includes three tracks, with low-level side platforms serving the two outer tracks.
