Vreeland Avenue was railroad station in Paterson, New Jersey served by the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad (NYS&W).[3] until 1966. Service by the New Jersey Midland, a predecessor to the NYS&W, had begun in 1873. The station house dates to 1949.[2] Other extant station buildings from the New Jersey Midland/NYSW can be found at Wortendyke, Butler, and Newfoundland, among other places.[4]

The location in the People's Park neighborhood is planned station on the proposed Passaic–Bergen Rail Line, a dormant New Jersey Transit Rail Operations project.[5]
