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. It is one of two stations in Garfield, with Plauderville Station being the other.
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.
In recent years, both stations in Garfield were relatively bare bones in structure and had seen limited service but Plauderville saw more commuters due to its ample amount of parking. In 2011, however, NJT gave Plauderville Station a major overhaul by building high level platforms, making the station fully handicap accessible, and added more frequent service; the resulting increase in ridership at Plauderville has turned it into a mostly full service station, with more frequent inbound evening service.[2]
