 When Montclair State University station opened in 2004  and the Wayne Route 23 Transit Center's train platform opened in 2008, this made Great Notch one of three stations in Little Falls, and it did not nearly have the ridership either of the other two stations had.The opening of Montclair State University Station helped to pull away commuters from Great Notch due to its location very near it.The small parking lot facing the station had very little room for cars and a parking lot on the opposite side of the single tracked station was isolated from it by fencing.
