Erie Railroad Signal Tower, Waldwick Yard, is located in Waldwick, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The tower was built in 1886 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 23, 1987.[3]
Background
The original Waldwick Station was built c. 1887.
Constructed in 1848, the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad through Waldwick created a connection between the Erie Railroad at Suffern, New York to Paterson, where it linked with the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad to the terminal and ferry in Jersey City. A station at Waldwick was established in 1887. The yard around the depot was expanded in 1890.[4]

The Paterson and Ramapo Railroad was constructed from Paterson to the outskirts of Suffern, New York in 1848. Combined with the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad (completed a few years earlier), it created a link between the Erie Railroad at Suffern to the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad Ferry in Jersey City.
