Warren Point and Ferndale Stations

For the history books, I've found maps marking the above stations with Warren Point on the Bergen County RR and Ferndale on the Main Line between Hawthorne and Glen Rock, how much do we know about these?

As far as I know, Warren Point was later renamed Broadway (Fair Lawn), or perhaps Broadway--Fair Lawn, but maybe someone can confirm or deny that.

A 1937 Official Guide shows Warren Point at 16.4 miles from Jersey City, and a 1954 Guide shows Fair Lawn (Broadway) at the same mileage from JC, so it apparently was just a name change. A 1919 Guide shows Ferndale at 20 miles from JC (with Hawthorne at 19 and Glen Rock at 21). The next Guide I have is 1937, and Ferndale is gone. (They started showing miles in tenths sometime between 1919 and 1937.)

Ok then. Now if we could find stuff to Ferndale it would be nice (a pic or something), but the Next Station Will Be books don't cover Ferndale.

Ferndale appeared in the Official Guide as early as February 1901, and The Next Station Will Be... photos were taken later than that, so if the Erie photographer didn't get it I wouldn't know where else to look. From what I know of the area it couldn't ever have amounted to much.

It can be amazing what google can find:

When the Erie Railroad Company owned the trainlines
in town, there used to be a stop at Ferndale Ave.
several blocks south of the present Main St. Station.
At this junction there was a turntable, a large circular
apparatus used to rotate freight cars. It was one of
the largest train turntables east of the Mississippi.
You can still see the stone foundation of the turntable
in the center of the park as indicated on the map.
