Plauderville Station is a New Jersey Transit train station located in Garfield, New Jersey, United States, served by the Bergen County Line. The station is in the north side of the city in the vicinity of Midland Avenue between Plauderville Avenue and Outwater Lane. The station is a full-service station as of April 2012, and has high-level platforms making the station handicapped accessible. Prior to the opening of the new structure on October 11, 2011, Plauderville Station was located on the border between Garfield and neighboring Saddle Brook, with the border between Saddle Brook and Garfield passing through the station's platforms. The station featured low-level platforms with a shelter and ticket machines on the Hoboken-bound platform. Due to the low platforms there was no accessibility and wheelchair-bound riders had to go to either Rutherford or Glen Rock Boro Hall stations to get a train on the Bergen County Line (those being the closest stations with accessibility ramps). Plauderville Station had been a limited service station much like Garfield's other station located on Passaic Street. Limited service denotes that trains stopped running from Garfield to Hoboken in early afternoon despite return trip service all day. Recent schedule changes, around April 2012, has added evening and weekday inbound service at Plauderville Station. As a result, the Plauderville Station has seemed to usurp the Garfield Station. It also has risen in status as the city's primary "go-to" station (or station of choice). An old box car body was installed at Plauderville in 1913 at a cost of $150 (1913 USD).〔 Starting in 2009, with money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, New Jersey Transit received funds to construct high-level platforms at Plauderville on the south side of Midland Avenue. Trains used the low-level platform until October 10, 2011, when trains were moved to the completed high-level platforms. This construction adds Plauderville to the list of stations on the Bergen County Line in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, along with Rutherford station and Glen Rock's Boro Hall station. ==Station layout== The current Plauderville station is located on a plot of land that spans from Outwater Lane at Henrietta Street to Midland Avenue at Plauderville Avenue in Garfield. The station has 259 parking spaces divided among three different free parking lots owned by New Jersey Transit. The first and largest lot is next to the station's Suffern-bound platform and contains 224 parking spaces, seven of which are accessible for handicapped (limited mobility) persons. The second is located on Midland Avenue and Hartman Street with 21 extra spaces, but these are not handicap-accessible. The final parking lot is located on Outwater Lane at the Henrietta Road junction, containing 14 non-handicap accessible parking spaces and situated behind the Hoboken-bound platform. Pedestrian street access is available on both Outwater Lane and Midland Avenue, with the platform ending near the grade crossing where the original platform was. Plauderville's one ticket machine is on the Hoboken-bound side of the tracks, placed in a weather-protected seating area with a glass painting from a local artist serving as its window, and also has an overhang that spans more of the platform than the small overhang on the outbound side. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plauderville (NJT station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
