Montclair State University Station at Little Falls is a New Jersey Transit rail station in Little Falls, New Jersey on the Montclair-Boonton Line.[2] It serves nearby Montclair State University as well as serving as a transfer station for trains on the line, and is located on Clove Road near Route 46. This station was opened on October 20, 2004[1] and was built at a cost of US$26 million,[3] after the Montclair Connection was finished. As is the case with the other stations along the line, there is no weekend service at the station. Every train on the Montclair-Boonton Line stops here. Midtown Direct service to Penn Station terminates here, as the line west of the nearby yard is not electrified. Riders coming from or going to stops west of here must travel to Hoboken Terminal or transfer to or from a New York bound train here. The station is a sheltered platform in the center of two tracks with an elevated walkway over the tracks connecting it to the parking deck and the college campus. The station is equipped with ticket machines and monitors displaying arrivals and departures. It is accessible as the platform is fully elevated and elevators are available in addition to stairs. The station was intended to be a Park-and-Ride, near a highway and with a large parking deck.
