Ramsey Station is one of two New Jersey Transit rail stations in Ramsey, New Jersey served by Main Line and Bergen County Line trains. The station is located on Main Street and was built in 1868, thus making it the oldest passenger station in service in New Jersey, surpassed only by Long-A-Coming Depot along the Atlantic City Line in Berlin, which hasn't been in service since the 1960s. The station is often referred to as Ramsey-Main Street, to prevent confusion with the other station in the borough, Ramsey Route 17, which was completed in 2004.
