Ho-Ho-Kus is a New Jersey Transit station served by the Bergen County Line and Main Line. The station is located in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, at Brookside Avenue and 1st Street, across the bridge on Warren Avenue from Franklin Turnpike. The station's current westbound structure was constructed in 1908 with river stones and a tile roof. This replaced facilities built in 1886 that burned. The first station, built in 1860, had also burned down several years after construction. The eastbound side was an irregularly shaped waiting shed built in 1909. For safety reasons, additional fencing and a new warning sign were installed at the station. Many railfans go here to observe diesels heading for Port Jervis at high speeds, primarily F40PH and GP40 engines with the occasional PL42AC.
