Here in New Jersey, we see train stations a lot. We have one of the most extensive public rail lines in the country, with NJ Transit and Amtrak lines leading us around the state and to New York, Pennsylvania, and beyond. Many of us commute through these stations daily, and usually don’t give them a second thought. But there’s one historic train station in NJ – in Madison – that gets a little more deserved attention. This doesn’t look so much like a train depot as a miniature gothic castle, and there’s a fascinating story behind its construction. Not only does it look very different from your average station, but it’s still standing and operating after more than a century. It might just be worth paying a visit to see for yourself – and to explore the charming small town it leads to.
