Background[edit]

Constructed in 1848, the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad through Waldwick created a connection between the Erie Railroad at Suffern, New York to Paterson, where it linked with the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad to the terminal and ferry in Jersey City. A station at Waldwick was established in 1887. The yard around the depot was expanded in 1890.^[4]

The building was abandoned by NJ Transit in 1986.The Waldwick Historical Society refurbished it during the early 2000s and in 2016 they completed the project.^[5]
