About this property

Hillsdale is an active commuter railroad station in the borough of Hillsdale, Bergen County, New Jersey. Servicing trains on New Jersey Transit's Pascack Valley Line, the station is located at the intersection of Broadway (County Route 104) and Hillsdale Avenue (County Route 112). The next station to the north toward Spring Valley station is Woodcliff Lake and the next station to the south toward Hoboken Terminal is Westwood. The station contains one track while a single low-level side platform next to the station depot, resulting in no accessibility for handicapped persons under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Service began on March 4, 1870 with the extension of the Hackensack and New York Extension Railroad from Anderson Street station in Hackensack to Hillsdale. The station later became one of two stops operated by the Erie Railroad in Hillsdale, following the opening of Hillsdale Manor station in 1893.
