Garfield (NJT station)

Garfield Station is a New Jersey Transit train station served by the Bergen County Line. It is located in Garfield, New Jersey, USA on an elevated viaduct on Passaic Street at Midland Avenue.

Garfield Station has very limited weekday inbound service to Hoboken Terminal, with the last train leaving Garfield in the afternoon. Return service continues all day, with the last train stopping at approximately 1:00 am. Weekend service operates on a more frequent basis inbound.

Parking is also very limited, as there are only bicycle racks on the Hoboken-bound platform and no actual street parking. Pedestrian access is available via two staircases on Passaic Street, and at grade level on Somerset Street which runs near the end of the platforms.

Since the revamping of Plauderville Station, usage patterns for the two stations have changed significantly. Plauderville is only one stop away to the north, and lies just within the Garfield city limits. It previously had a similar "bare-bones" rail-level boarding configuration as the Garfield station, with a similar schedule. However, as of October 2011, Plauderville became a modern, raised, handicap-accessible, well-lit platform. It also has parking facilities, and more scheduled service. Because of these advantages, Plauderville has become the preferred station for the city of Garfield, with more than twice as many passengers as Garfield Station.
