Allenhurst is an active commuter railroad station in Allenhurst, Monmouth County, New Jersey. Served by New Jersey Transit's North Jersey Coast Line, Allenhurst station operates on the diesel-only segment between Bay Head and Long Branch stations. However, trains also operate to both New York Penn Station and Hoboken Terminal. The next station to the north is Elberon in Long Branch while the next station to the south is Asbury Park. Allenhurst station consists of two low-level side platforms that are not handicapped accessible.
Allenhurst station opened on May 17, 1897, as a replacement for the Interlaken station on the New York and Long Branch Railroad, a joint operation between the Central Railroad of New Jersey and Pennsylvania Railroad. As part of opening, Interlaken station became a Sunday-only stop on the railroad until its closure on July 31, 1904.[5] [6] The station joined the National Register of Historic Places in August 1980, despite the poor condition of the station depot.[7] New Jersey Transit eliminated agent services at the station on July 1, 1981.[8] However, the owner razed the wooden station depot on April 13, 1982. The station has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980,[9] [10] despite being demolished.[4]
