Denville station's Montclair-Boonton Line platform

Prior to the electrification of the Morristown line in the 1930s, Morristown line trains crossed the Boonton line at a right angle, just east of Denville tower, and continued northwesterly toward Rockaway. From Rockaway, the trains headed southwesterly into Dover. As part of the electrification project, the Morristown line was curved westward and joined the Boonton line in its present location. The track segment between Denville and Rockaway saw limited service after the 1930s, with service on the Rockaway Branch ending in 1948. Interstate 80 now occupies a short portion of the right-of-way.[4] The New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office considered adding the station to their historic building list, however this never went through and the station was demolished in 1992. Denville Tower was given consideration, twice, once in 1978 and again in 1999, but has yet to join the State Register of Historic Places or National Register of Historic Places.[5]
