Preceding station NJ Transit Following station Essex Street toward West Side Avenue West Side–Tonnelle Harborside toward Tonnelle Avenue Essex Street toward 8th Street 8th Street–Hoboken Harborside toward Hoboken Bayonne Flyer

The station opened on April 22, 2000. There are two tracks, an island platform and a side platform that only serves northbound trains. The station is adjacent to the PATH station of the same name.

In 2017, the platforms at the station were extended by 25 feet (7.6 m) to their current length of 190 feet (58 m). The work was done to accommodate new "extended" cars that were introduced to ease overcrowding during peak periods of ridership.[1]
