If you close your eyes while riding along the track, you might miss it. The western part of the borough is largely residential with the occasional business. It's also the point where state Route 130 meets Route 47 with connections to NJ Transit buses, so it would make sense to place a rail stop there, right? Not so fast. Read more →
