- Passengers transferring from a diesel to an electrified train must now make the transfer at the Montclair State University Station platform, currently under construction on Clove Road, rather than the Montclair Heights Station. Therefore, passengers traveling to the University on a diesel train from the west will have to change trains on the platform of the MSU Station and take the electrified train to the Montclair Heights Station. Similarly, passengers departing from the Montclair Heights Station traveling westbound will have to change from the electrified to the diesel train at the MSU Station platform. Since the MSU Station platform is within a construction site, New Jersey Transit will not permit passengers to exit to the street from the platform. Montclair State University had no input into this decision and was informed of the decision by New Jersey Transit after it was made. Click here for more information.
