From the Wikipedia article
Prospect Street was a former commuter railroad station in the city of Passaic, Passaic County, New Jersey. One of four stations for the Erie Railroad in Passaic, Prospect Street had a single station depot with two platforms. The next station going north towards Dearborn Station in Chicago, Illinois was the downtown Passaic station while the next station south toward Pavonia Terminal in Jersey City was Passaic Park. The station opened on June 21, 1880 as Passaic Centre station, located at a former site of the downtown Passaic station, back when the latter was known as Huyler's. The name was changed to Prospect Street around 1882. After multiple attempts to eliminate the station along with another at Harrison Street, the railroad succeeded in 1953.
