Lebanon is a NJ Transit railroad station on the Raritan Valley Line in Lebanon, New Jersey. There is a station building on the north side of the tracks. It was designed in 1899 by New York City architect Bradford Gilbert for the Central Railroad of New Jersey.[5] The southern track is no longer in use and the stop has no weekend service. The station was purchased by the town in 1978.

Station layout

The station has a single low-level asphalt side platform. The platform is 97 feet (30 m) long and accommodates a single car.[6]
