Close

Railroad service through Woodcliff Lake began on May 27, 1871 when the Hackensack and New York Extension Railroad introduced service north from Hillsdale to Nanuet, New York. At that time, a station in the area was known as Pascack.^[7][8] The former station depot at Woodcliff Lake, in deplorable condition for multiple years attached to the existing depot, came down in December 1960 to be replaced by a police station outpost and improved parking for commuters.^[4]

The station has one track and one low-level side platform.

Permit parking is operated by the Borough of Woodcliff Lake. A single permit parking lot, with 60 parking spots is available.
