The Danforth Avenue station on the Hudson–Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) is located one block east of Garfield Avenue, near the location of the former Central Railroad of New Jersey Greenville station in Jersey City, New Jersey. There are two tracks and an island platform. It is the southernmost HBLR station within Jersey City.
The station opened on April 22, 2000. It is located along the former Central Railroad of New Jersey right of way which terminated at Communipaw Terminal. During excavations for its construction workers came across what appear to be the petrified remains of luggage. The items were later incorporated in the design of a public art exhibition entitled Immigrant Remnants.
