Netcong Station is a New Jersey Transit station in Netcong, New Jersey. Located on U.S. Route 46 at Main Street in downtown Netcong, the small, 1-low level side platform station service passengers for the Morristown Line and the Montclair-Boonton Line. These lines provide service to Hoboken or to New York City via Midtown Direct on the Morristown Line at Dover and Montclair-Boonton at Montclair State University station. Midtown Direct service can also be transferred at Newark Broad Street Station in Newark, New Jersey There is one track and one platform on the north side, adjacent to the station. New Jersey Transit maintains a substantial train servicing yard east of the Netcong station at Port Morris in Roxbury Township. Port Morris Yard is proposed to return as the junction of the Montclair-Boonton and Morristown Lines for the Lackawanna Cut-Off line to Scranton. Transfers would be provided at Lake Hopatcong station in Landing.[3]

The current Netcong station was built by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad's main line in 1901 as the main station to Netcong and nearby Stanhope. The brick design of the station was built with bricks from nearby Port Murray, New Jersey.[4]

The station served as the junction of the Sussex Branch of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western as well, serving towns through Sussex County including Branchville, Newton and Lafayette. Passenger railroad service on the Sussex Branch ended in October 1966, when the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad, the successor to the Lackawanna, cut service on many passenger branches. In 1979, the line was torn up and handed over to the New Jersey State Park Department. Prior to 1994, New Jersey Transit's service on the then-Boonton Line terminated at Netcong. However, in late 1994, service was extended along the Norfolk Southern owned tracks to Mount Olive and Hackettstown, which became the permanent western terminus of the line.[5]
