Hawthorne is a rail station located in Hawthorne, New Jersey in Passaic County. Volunteer Railroaders Association, a non-profit railroad preservation group leases the station from the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway. The station is single floor wooden structure at grade with the local area. Formerly brown and cream colored, the station has currently been repainted blue-green as part of an ongoing restoration. The station once served as the commuter ticket office until 1966 and was also used as a freight depot building. Since 1894, the present station has been located on the corner of Royal Avenue and County Route 654 (Diamond Bridge Avenue). It is proposed that New Jersey Transit will build a new station for the northern terminus of the Passaic-Bergen Rail Line adjacent to the NJ Transit Main Line's Hawthorne station. The neighborhood of the original station would benefit from state funding to improve signage, lighting, and parking.
