Millburn is a New Jersey Transit station in Millburn, New Jersey along the Morristown and Gladstone lines.
Service in the area of Springfield Township in then-Union County began on September 17, 1837 when the "Orange", a locomotive operated by the Morris and Essex Railroad, began a test trip between Newark and Madison. This train was a single locomotive and two cars. Permanent service between the two municipalities began on September 28, 1837 and a station was established as Millville. Millville station stood next to a pond, where the "Orange" would take water due to the railroad being at a low enough level. However, railroad crews discovered that the locomotive could not maintain sufficient enough steam for the heavy load of water and this was replaced by a water pump machine at Summit.
The former station building, constructed in 1906-07, was demolished in 1986.[7]
Millburn station contains two low-level side platforms, and offers a ticket office on the outbound platform that is open during morning rush hour. The station also has a single ticket vending machine located outside next to the ticket office. Millburn station contains four public parking lots, maintained by Millburn Township.
