History
Ramsey station around
c. 1907–1912
Railroad service to the Ramsey section of
Hohokus Township began on October 19, 1848. The
Paterson and Ramapo Railroad began service between
Jersey City and Suffern, where connection was made to the
Erie Railroad main line. The station was built on land donated by Peter J. Ramsey, a local landowner. The Erie Railroad, who took over service, built a new depot at Ramsey in 1868, making it the oldest active passenger depot for commuter service in the state of New Jersey. (Service at the
Long-a-Coming Depot in
Berlin , which is older than 1868, ended in the 1960s).
Station layout
This station has two tracks, each with a low-level
