Ramsey Route 17

Ramsey, Italy

Ramsey Route 17 station is an active commuter railroad station in the borough of Ramsey, Bergen County, New Jersey. Located on Island Road off State Route 17, the station serves NJ Transit's Main and Bergen County Lines and Metro-North Railroad's Port Jervis Line, operated by NJ Transit. The station

serves as a large park and ride, with a full-size garage on Island Road. Ramsey Route 17 station has two high-level side platforms connected by an overpass. The overpass also connects to the parking garage. It is one of two stops in the borough, with Ramsey–Main Street station to the south being the other. Due to heavy use of local parking lots at Ramsey and Mahwah, demand for a new park and ride to facilitate better traffic. In 1995, they approved the construction of a new station at Island Road near the Westervelt–Ackerson House, which once had a station on the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad when it opened in October 1848. Construction began on the new station in May 2002 and the project ended on August 22, 2004.
