Stirling is aNJ Transit station in theStirling neighborhood ofLong Hill Township, New Jersey along theGladstone Branch of the Morris and Essex line. The station consists of one side platform, as well as a concrete block shelter constructed in August 1974 after the formerDelaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad depot was demolished.[4] TheErie Lackawanna Railroad demolished the old depot on August 14, 1972 without notifying then-Passaic Township.[7]
The only physical facility at this station is a cinder-block-walled, shingle-roofed bench shelter facing the track. A pay telephone and a newsstand stand nearby. The low-levelside platform connects to the bypass track via a walkway over the station track, allowing passengers to access trains on both tracks.
