Westfield (NJT Station)
Station layout
The station has two high-level side platforms serving two tracks. The inbound platform is 623 feet (190 m) long while the outbound platform is 624 feet (190 m) long; both can accommodate seven cars.
The station consists of two buildings: the main building on the north (westbound platform) side of the track houses a non-profit group, the south (eastbound platform) side of the tracks houses the ticket office and waiting area and the platform has two ticket vending machines. The present north building was built in 1892, while the present south building was built in 1912 by the Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ). An access tunnel connects the two platforms and, like Cranford, there are historic photographs of Westfield displayed in the tunnel.
