New Jersey Transit Little Silver Train Station

Nice little quaint place.
A few shoppes inside the building are good to pass the time while you wait for your train. Everybody is friendly and the place is clean and well maintained.

The Little Silver Train Station is a landmark historical building in the Borough. Growing up in Little Silver, this is the building I always think of as being symbolic of the community.
I’m very proud of L.S. that they have taken such care of this building throughout the years. It was recently completely refurbished and has never looked better. So many towns in the area used to have classic train stations … unfortunately most have let those buildings rot and/​or torn them down altogether. Thankfully that hasn’t happened here.
Sadly, the interior of the station is not always open, so unless you are part of the morning commute, you are likely to miss the restored interior. Its a shame to miss it.
Inside coffee and snacks await the morning traveler. If you are arriving later in the day however, and can’t get inside due to the hour, there is a pizza shop conveniently located across the way, so don’t despair.
The Little Silver Train Station is a great alternative to the Red Bank Train Station. It truly is in a class all by itself.

Right by Ft. Monmouth, it’s an easy choice to take if you’re in the mood to go up to NYC for a weekend. If you arrive Friday afternoon, parking lots are generally open and after 5PM and free for the entire weekend. $ 15 and 1 ½ hours later you’re standing outside of Penn Station.
The train is fairly comfortable, but don’t expect Amtrak style seats. I would say it’s a glorified Metro.
If you’re new to the process, you can buy a ticket from the station through a kiosk. A conductor will come by and pick up your ticket, and put a sliver of paper on your seat saying that you paid for your ride.
If you forget to get a ticket from the kiosk, then you can pay the conductor directly.
A good option if you don’t want to deal with traffic, tolls, and parking in the city. Any station on the NJ Transit would apply

The Little Silver Train Station on Sycamore Avenue was designed by the noted American architect Henry Hobson Richardson and built in 1890. It reopened after renovations in 2003.
