History

The station was originally built in 1875 by the New York and Long Branch Railroad which was acquired by the Central Railroad of New Jersey. On June 30, 1882, the community became the site of an accident in which 5 of the 7 cars of the NY&LB's Lightning Express train plunged off a trestle bridge, killing 1 man outright, with 2 men dying of their injuries later. Former President Ulysses S. Grant was among the survivors of the accident.[4][5] The original station house was replaced by the existing station, which was designed by the noted American architect Henry Hobson Richardson prior to his death in 1886, and opened in 1890. The head house has been on the state and federal registers of historic places since 1984[6] listed as part of the Operating Passenger Railroad Stations Thematic Resource.[7][8] The station exterior is constructed of sandstone with a slate roof, while the interior features rough wood paneling. It was renovated from 2001 to 2003 with Mark Fitzsimmons as the architect.

Station layout

The station has two low-level asphalt side platforms.
