Broadway is a New Jersey Transit train station served by the Bergen County Line. It is located in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. It is one of two New Jersey Transit train stations in Fair Lawn, the other being Radburn Station. The station is located on an overpass above Route 4, which is known as Broadway in Elmwood Park and Fair Lawn.
Originally known as a passenger stop called "Warren Point", the elevated Broadway Station dates to 1931 when the NJ Route 4 highway was built between Paterson and the George Washington Bridge.
No parking for the station is available in Fair Lawn. An eighty-space permit parking lot is available across Broadway at East 55th Street in Elmwood Park. The station is accessible on foot from Broadway and Rosalie Street, the latter of which dead ends at the Suffern-bound (Northbound) platform, and from Broadway using two separate staircases. The Hoboken-bound (Southbound) platform has a ticket machine and a shelter (pictured), which can protect passengers from rain and snow.
Broadway Station recently underwent an upgrade where most of its signage and its shelter was replaced; in addition signs were installed at the corner of Broadway and East 55th Street and on the wall abutting the stairway to the Suffern-bound platform identifying the station as "Broadway Fair Lawn".
