Bloomfield station is a New Jersey Transit station in Bloomfield, New Jersey along the Montclair-Boonton Line. The station is located in downtown Bloomfield, the second within the municipality, just west of Bloomfield Avenue. This is the second station served on the line after Newark Broad Street Station after Watssesing Avenue station.
The current Glen Ridge, Bloomfield and Watsessing Avenue stations along the Montclair Branch were all built in 1912 during a grade separation program by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad.[1] Bloomfield Station has been on the National Register of Historic Places since June 22, 1984[3] and on the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office listings since March 17, 1984.[4]
The station has two ticket vending machines (TVMs) on the eastbound platform (to Newark and New York).
The station is the centerpiece of proposed plan to revitalize Bloomield's central business district. The former headhouse is privately owned but has not been redevloped. In 2011, the owner announced they would sell the building, enabling the town to influence future plans.[5]
