History

Railroad service in Lincoln Park began on September 12, 1870 with the extension of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad's Boonton Branch as a freight only stop known as Beavertown. Passenger service began on December 14, 1870. The railroad built the current station depot in 1905.

The station has two tracks and one side platform. The station is not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

It features a parking lot on both sides, and a waiting room with a bathroom. The station also has a pedestrian crossing with two railroad crossing signs that each have two yellow lights which always blink.
