Mahwah Station
Mahwah station is a NJ Transit train station located in Mahwah, New Jersey served by the Main Line, Bergen County Line and a limited service served by Metro-North Railroad's Port Jervis Line. History The beginning of railroad service in Mahwah dates to the 1840s with the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad, which had its charter approved on March 10, 1841, by the state of New Jersey. The railroad was extended through Mahwah in 1848, and while Mahwah was designated as a station, it was only a flag stop: passengers desiring to ride would need to notify the station agent, who would then flag down a passing train to stop. Even after the Erie Railroad leased the Paterson and Ramapo in 1852, there was no initial change to service at Mahwah, and it was not until citizens of Mahwah persuaded the railroad that there was enough passenger and freight traffic for a depot that one was constructed in 1871. The land for the new depot was donated by Albert Winter, a local citizen. The new sta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
