New Bridge Landing Station at River Edge (formerly North Hackensack Station) is a New Jersey Transit rail station on the Pascack Valley Line. The station is located in River Edge, New Jersey and is located at Kinderkamack Road and Grand Street. It is one of two stations in the town; the River Edge station is also located in River Edge. With the addition of "at River Edge" to the station's name, New Jersey Transit now recognizes the station as being in River Edge; when the station was known as North Hackensack NJT had regarded the station as being in neighboring Hackensack. The station is named for the nearby New Bridge Landing, where George Washington crossed the Hackensack River in his retreat after the loss of Fort Washington during the New York and New Jersey campaign in 1776.^[1]

Effective 2007, the fees are $117.70 for a quarterly permit or $331 for a yearly permit (all fees include 7% New Jersey sales tax).^[3]

A total of 21 daily parking spaces are available at the North Hackensack Train Station parking lot and are located on the perimeter of the lot at a cost of $4.00 per day as of 2008.
