Far Hills, New Jersey

Far Hills is a New Jersey Transit station in the borough of Far Hills, in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States located at the intersection of Route 202 and CR 512, ½ mile east of U.S. Route 206.

The Spanish Revival-style station was built in 1914 and also includes an old freight station to the west in a similar design. The head house has been on the state and federal registers of historic places since 1984, listed as part of the Operating Passenger Railroad Stations Thematic Resource.

The Far Hills station has a restaurant called Butler's Pantry and is part of the NJ Transit Gladstone Branch, offering service to Hoboken Terminal, and to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan via the Kearny Connection. The Far Hills station is also known as the Far Hills-Bedminster train station because of its proximity to the town. During an earlier era, most riders would get off at the Far Hills station for the horse races at the Far Hills Steeplechase Farm.
