After multiple attempts to eliminate the station along with another at Harrison Street, the railroad succeeded in 1953.

[8] In June 1887, a flagman's stand was added to the Prospect Street stop to mix in with the local design.

[13] In October 1921, the Erie Railroad requested to the Board of Public Utility Commissioners about eliminating the agent at Prospect Street station.

The Erie Railroad, represented by Grover James, a resident of Passaic, stated that the Prospect Street station was not making enough money to justify keeping an gent.

Herbert Parker, a witness for the city, defended the station noting that the new YMCA was being built nearby.

While they understood the railroad's interest in cutting expensives wherever possible, the fact that Prospect Street was in a business section of the city and had high ridership was the reason to deny the switch to a caretaker.

By this time, Harrison and Prospect Street stations combined for only 22 riders on average daily.

[18] The Public Utilities Commissioners noted in March 1953 that a decision would be made soon and that there were no agents at either stop, which had been reduced to shelter sheds by that point in time.
