History


Glen Rock station, c. 1907–1912
Glen Rock station, c. 1907–1912

Service at Glen Rock began on October 19, 1848, with the opening of the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad, which connected the Erie Railroad at Suffern to the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad in Paterson. At that time, the station was known as Rock Road. The Erie Railroad, who took control of the Paterson and Ramapo, also opened a second station in Glen Rock, known as Ferndale in 1894.[8]

Located at Ferndale Avenue south of the Rock Road station, a railroad terminal was built at Ferndale and served as the yard for the Newark Branch of the Erie in 1902.[9] The Erie discontinued that in 1903 when they finished the yard in Waldwick.[10] The current station depot was finished in November 1905.
