Details For
Millburn/Short
Hills New Jersey
Millburn
Township is served by two
New Jersey Transit railroad stations along the Morristown
Line: the Millburn station, located at the intersection
of Essex Avenue and Lackawanna Place near the Millburn
Free Public Library, and the Short Hills station, located
near The Crescent Street between Hobart Avenue and Chatham
Road. The latter station is also the site of the Millburn-Short
Hills Historical Society museum.
In addition, New Jersey Transit operates multiple bus
lines along Millburn and Essex Avenues, including the
#70
route that stops at the Millburn RR station on a
route between Newark and Livingston.
The
Millburn Station
The
Millburn Station consists of two ground-level platforms
and a single building on the eastbound (toward Hoboken
and New York Penn Station) side. This building houses
a waiting area and a ticket office, which is normally
open on weekday mornings only.
These platforms are not high-level platforms.
Passengers boarding or debarking at this station
must use the stairs on each car. Millburn Station
is not considered handicap-accessible.
The eastbound and westbound (toward Gladstone
and Hackettstown) platforms are accessible from
two concrete stairwells that rise from Lackawanna
Place, next to the metal trestle that carries
the tracks over Lackawanna Place. Passengers can
also cross from one platform to another through
a tunnel near the ticket office.
New Jersey Transit's Bus Line 70 stops at this
station.
Parking
Permitted
parking is available in a vast parking lot on the westbound
side, and also in a lot adjacent to the parking lot of
the Millburn
Free Public Library on the far side of Lackawanna
Place. Permits cost $300 per year and entitle a resident
to park in other nearby lots (and also on the street next
to his own house). The nearby shopping district meters
its parking, charging ten cents an hour or twenty-five
cents for two hours--fees that are purely nominal and
are intended solely to prevent railroad users from occupying
parking spaces intended for patrons of local shops and
banks.
Nearby
businesses, facilities, and attractions
The
Millburn Professional Building stands on the westbound
platform, directly opposite the station building. This
was probably one of the original station buildings but
does not today house any New Jersey Transit offices. Another
major office building stands directly west of the station
building, nearer the Lackawanna Place trestle.
The Millburn
Free Public Library is located across Lackawanna
Place, and the Millburn Volunteer First Aid Squad is
located on Glen Avenue on the north side of the station
parking lot.
The station is also located near a thriving shopping
and financial district. Several restaurants, offering
a wide variety of cuisines, are located across Essex
Avenue from the station.
