Ho-Ho-Kus Station is a New Jersey Transit station served by Bergen County Line and Main Line trains. The station is located It is located in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, at Brookside Avenue and 1st Street, across the bridge on Warren Avenue from Franklin Turnpike. The station's current westbound structure was constructed in 1908 with river stones and a tile roof. This replaced facilities built in 1886 that burned. This was after the first station, built in 1860, burned down several years after construction.[1] The eastbound side was an irregularly-shaped waiting shed built in 1909.[3] Recently, for safety, an additional fencing and a new warning sign was installed at the station. Many railfans go here for diesels heading for Port Jervis at high speeds, primarily F40PH and GP40 engines, with the occasional PL42AC.
