Gillette (NJT station)
Gillette Station is the first of three station stops on the Gladstone Branch of the Morris & Essex Line of New Jersey Transit, in Long Hill Township, New Jersey. The station consists of a small low-level side platform with a covered bench shelter on the inbound side of the single track. The station is located at the intersection of Mountain Avenue and Jersey Avenue in the Gillette portion of Long Hill Township. The station has 82 parking spaces and bike lockers. The station serves trains that go to Gladstone, Summit, Hoboken Terminal and New York Pennsylvania Station for commuters.
George Howell was an engineer who surveyed the area for the New Jersey West Line Railroad. The station is named after his wife, Rachel Gillette Cornish, who he married while working in the area. Since the Gladstone Branch was opened, the station has never consisted more than a shelter for passengers on the side of the tracks, unlike nearby Stirling, which once boasted a large station depot built in 1872.
==Station layout==
Gillette Station contains only a covered bench shelter on the low-level side platform, several newsstands, a pay telephone, and numerous benches facing the single track from the inbound side. Since the station has a ticket vending machine, tickets can be bought on board the train but with the requirement to pay a $5 surcharge, which is a typical penalty for other NJT stations. The station is located in Fare Zone 12, making a ticket (one-way) to New York $11.50, $10.00 to Hoboken and $7.00 to Newark Broad Street Station. Monthly passes from New York are $324.00, $284.00 from Hoboken, $193.00 from Newark Broad Street. Bike racks are present next to the shelter. The station has the second-largest parking lot among the three stations in Long Hill Township, boasting an 82-space lot owned by New Jersey Transit, but contracted out to the township. Permits for parking there on weekday mornings cost $285 per year. At nights and from 3 PM Friday to 5 PM Sunday, parking is free there without a permit. Of the 82 spaces, 2 are handicap-accessible, although the station is not handicapped-accessible. For handicap-accessibility, a commuter would need to go to Lyons station or Summit station.
The station sees use by all but one Gladstone Branch train, No.467, which terminates at Murray Hill.
