The original station caught fire on February 8, 1901, from a spark from a passing train. The station was rebuilt and reopened on September 22, 1902. The station was named by a committee of donors that helped to fund the building of the new station and voted to name it River Edge station.[5]
The station has one track and one low-level side platform, and has a heated waiting area for passengers. Permit parking is operated by the Borough of River Edge. For New Milford residents, there is a commuter lot provided by the Borough located nearly two blocks away in New Milford.
The station can be seen in a scene of the 2008 movie Be Kind Rewind.[citation needed]
