In 1938, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities ordered the elimination of grade crossings in Absecon.

Due to the need to span Absecon Creek and Shore Road, an 'unusual' concrete and steel trestle was planned.

In March 1940, the project reportedly cost $1.5 million and included a 'fireproof' station level with the elevated tracks.

In 2019, the Absecon town council applied for transit village status from the New Jersey state government.

The program provides state funding for a variety of infrastructure improvements if high-density buildings are added near mass transit locations.
