Three stations preceded the current building. The station builidng has a ticket office, waiting area, and offices. The platforms are accessed by stairs and elevators.

Following the implementation of the Aldene Plan in 1967, the station served as the western terminus of the Cranford-Bayonne Shuttle. The station is the eastern-most station on the old main line of the Central Railroad of New Jersey still serving as station.
