History

Originally, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (DL&W) served Hackettstown with a large station in downtown Hackettstown for its Old Main alignment. The large wooden station was a Type W-2 station (from DL&W railroad documents) built in 1868. Hackettstown station was razed in the late 1960s[5] after passenger service on most Erie-Lackawanna Railroad branches terminated in October 1966.[6]

Service west of Netcong station began on October 31, 1994, with an extension of the Boonton Line westward along Conrail's Washington Secondary. The station was opened along with Mount Olive station[7] near Waterloo Village and the International Trade Center in the namesake township.

In 2023, NJ Transit purchased the Washington Secondary track from Netcong station to Hackettstown. Norfolk Southern retained an exclusive freight easement.[8][9]
