The site of the current Middletown station was part a farm owned by the Conover family.[citation needed] After years of neglect, the station was repainted and rehabilitated in 1964 with attendance by descendants of the Conovers.[4] The high-level platforms were constructed in 1988 with the beginning of electric service down to Long Branch from South Amboy.The former depot stands at the edge of the parking lot on Conover Avenue.[citation needed] The station has two tracks, and two high-level side platforms that are eight cars long.
