The Morrisville station would serve both New Jersey Transit and SEPTA, allowing Pennsylvania commuters a one seat ride to New York. Another station under consideration would be in Morrisville, where New Jersey Transit stores its trains. A new transit-oriented station is proposed at the former Johnson & Johnson site in North Brunswick between Jersey Avenue and Princeton Junction, the largest service gap on the route. Although the station is located next to I-95, a Park & Ride did not open at Secaucus until 2009. The primary purpose for Secaucus Junction was to cut travel times for Bergen-Main and Pascack Valley commuters into Manhattan, thus intercity trains do not stop at this station. Secaucus Junction was built in 2003 to connect the Bergen-Main & Pascack Valley Lines to the corridor. Newark Airport station was built in 2001 to connect the corridor with the airport, but the station is only accessible by a monorail that connects with the airport's terminals. Finally in 1983 the State tookĬommuter operations under the statewide public transport agency, New JerseyĪ new Park & Ride was constructed at Hamilton in 1999 to offer easy access near Interstates 95 & 295 and to put an ease on parking at nearby Princeton Junction and Trenton, although one-seat service is not available to Philadelphia from Hamilton. In 1968 NJ-DOTįunded construction of the Metropark Park & Ride station and in 1969 theyįunded the purchase of 35 new stainless steel "Jersey Arrow" MU cars.Īfter 1968 the service was taken over by the merged Penn Central railroad andįollowing the Penn Central's bankruptcy the commuter service was taken over byĬonrail in 1976, under contract from NJ-DOT.

Commuter service from New York to Trenton began in 1933 a year after the 11,000-volt AC overheadĬatenary was installed between Newark and New York. The two companies merged to form the United New Jersey Railroad in 1867 and later came under the Pennsylvania Railroads control in 1871. Much of the line was built by the Camden & Amboy Railroad and New Jersey Railroad by 1864.
