Location

Millburn is in active commuter railroad station in Millburn Township, Essex County, New Jersey. Serving trains of NJ Transit's Morristown Line and Gladstone Branch, trains operate from New York Penn Station and Hoboken Terminal to points west, including Dover, Gladstone and Hackettstown. The next station to the west is Short Hills while the next station to the east is Maplewood. Millburn station contains two low-level side platforms with two office buildings fronting the structure, a colonial-style building built in 1962 on the westbound tracks and a modern office building on the eastbound tracks built in 1987. The station also has a ticket agency with a waiting room.

The area known as Millburn gained railroad service on September 28, 1837 with the extension of the Morris and Essex Railroad from Orange to Madison. The original station building burned in 1874, replaced by the freight station until 1907, when the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad built a new station. The construction of the new station in 1907 resulted in the abandonment of the station at Wyoming in the township on November 10, 1907. Local development projects resulted in both station depots being demolished, with Frank Donnelly demolishing the westbound station for a two-story office building in 1962 and P&R Associates demolishing the eastbound structure for its building in December 1986. The current eastbound station opened on August 3, 1988.
