Teterboro, formerly known as Williams Avenue, is a New Jersey Transit rail station on the Pascack Valley Line. The station is in Hasbrouck Heights, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, and is located at Williams Avenue near Route 17 and Route 46, near Teterboro Airport.

Teterboro is served by weekday trains only, and with the exception for one early morning train from Hoboken, there is no weekend or holiday service at this station.

Station layout

The station has one track and one low-level side platform four cars long to its east. Although it was formerly named Williams Avenue, that street dead-ends on the line on the opposite side of the platform, which can only be accessed by Green Street that runs alongside it. Since there is no way to reach the station from its west side, customers from there often illegally crossed the tracks from the Williams Avenue dead-end to reach the platform. In February 2013, New Jersey Transit built a barbed-wire fence on this dead-end, forcing riders from the west side to loop around the station through Route 46 and Route 17, neither of which have sidewalks, to reach it.

The platform has a wide painted yellow line below track level and a silver highway guard rail (with gaps to enter it) separating it from the 27-space parking lot that is in between it and Green Street. The southern end of the platform in the tiny area south of the parking lot's end has a bike rack for two behind a single wooden bench. There is a tiny silver shelter that has another bench next to the station's only ticket vending machine.
