Towaco is a train station on New Jersey Transit's Montclair-Boonton Line in the Towaco section of Montville Township, New Jersey. The station is located on U.S. Route 202 and Whitehall Roads in Montville. The station has a single side platform on a single track, facing eastbound. There are also two parking lots with 220 spots for free use. There is also a 600-square-foot (56 m2) shelter on the platform for riders.


The station was first opened by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad as Whitehall. Renamed to Towaco in 1905,[6] a new depot was built in 1924 by the railroad with help from architect F.G. Neiss.[7] The depot replaced one built in the 1910s[2] and demolished in 1970. NJ Transit rebuilt the structure in 2000.[7]
