The station was a former stop on the Boonton Line, which runs from Hoboken Terminal to Hackettstown, reaching Rowe Street in Bloomfield. Rowe Street was constructed in 1955 as a replacement to the nearby Orchard Street station, which were to be in the way of the new Garden State Parkway. Rowe Street had a two platform, two track station, supplied with a one-story brick station.[1]
Service was discontinued to Rowe Street Station (along with Benson Street in Glen Ridge and Arlington in Kearny) in 2002 when the Montclair Connection was opened.[2]
