Millville station stood next to a pond, where the "Orange" would take water due to the railroad being at a low enough level.

With the railroad, more direct delivery options were made for the paper mills to send their wares to Elizabeth, New Jersey and New York City that were previously sent by sloops.

The depot was replaced by the freight station, built in 1855 by entrepreneur Jonathan Parkhurst to protect his paper products from the mills.

Deferred maintenance led to the depot becoming an eyesore in the municipality with the station not being washed save for the John L. Sullivan appearance in 1886.

However, plans were in motion to make a connection to the Laurel Street section of Wyoming to the new Millburn station.

The Lackawanna installed a new sidewalk along the road paralleling the tracks to help Wyoming residents reach the new station.

A new hearing was held in Newark on June 10, 1910 to determine if people in Wyoming wanted to continue to have service restored.

As a result, the Wyoming Association asked that the depot be removed and the land on it become part of the park surrounding the structure.

They continued to wash down small fires that occurred from the accident, including flaming railroad ties and putting water in the boiler to prevent an explosion.

[14] The Lackawanna Railroad came in overnight to clean up the mess, which eliminated all train traffic through Millburn.

Work was enough to start partial service on the line as of August 18, but the railroad provided shuttle busses to help get around the Millburn wreckage.

The engine and its damaged cars were moved to a siding near Millburn station and it was eventually hauled.

The Millburn Township Board of Adjustment approved the proposal, noting that the station, in bad condition from deferred maintenance, would get more improvements from Donnelly than it would from the railroad.

This was due to a request from officials of Millburn Township who asked if Donnelly would improve the westbound platform.

Donnelly stated that he hoped the westbound structure would be completed to the point that on July 1, so railroad officials and passengers could utilize the first story as a waiting room and ticket office.

The township agreed to it on the condition the beech tree on the property be maintained, because it was considered a municipal landmark.

[19] The project would be held off until July 1980, approved a new structure designed by Michael Graves of Princeton that Berson requested.

This would result in the elimination of the beech tree, a decision objected by several local interest groups.

P&R purchased the depot for $250,000, paid for as part of a $1.5 million loan from the Essex County Improvement Authority.

[19] P&R returned to the township in April 1984 and offered a new proposal that added a third story to the original Berson project.

The structure would include offices, a bank with drive-up service and a new waiting room for railroad commuters.

However, Mayor Robert Denise announced in November 1984 to acquire the station from P&R and offered the firm $302,500 for the structure, along with a $300,000 grant for the rehabilitation from NJ Transit.

Millburn Township would rent the Essex Street lot for $1 through 1998, which would make room for 28 parking spaces.

P&R already acquired the permits for demolition of the depot, began negotiations with NJ Transit about detours for construction and hired a firm to build the structure.

[4] The building was finished by July 1988, except that the station opening ceremonies were held up by NJ Transit losing their ticket agent at Millburn to American Airlines.

Due to the change in ticket agents, the trailer that had been serving as the station agency and the new building were both closed until the scenario was resolved.
