Amtrak new jersey transit action on the northeast corridor rahway station


Rahway is an NJ Transit train station in Rahway, New Jersey, with service on the Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast lines. It is in downtown Rahway on an embankment completed in 1913, with bridges over Milton Avenue and Irving and Cherry Streets. The present station was built by New Jersey Transit at a cost of $16 million and opened in early 1999. It replaced a passenger station built by the Penn Central and the New Jersey Department of Transportation in 1974, which was an Amtrak stop from 1971 to 1975. The City of Rahway completed a $600,000 public plaza in front of the station in 2001.

Rahway is just northeast of the Perth Amboy Junction, where the Northeast Corridor and the North Jersey Coast lines split at Union Tower, so Rahway is one of several transfer stations on NJ Transit. The station has an island platform for the Trenton and Long Branch-bound side of the station. The New York City-bound platform is a side platform more typical of the Northeast Corridor. Service bound for Long Branch and other points on the North Jersey Coast Line use one side of this island platform just east of the junction, as these trains would not be able to switch off of the main track in time to switch onto tracks at the Junction towards the Jersey Shore.

North Rahway was at Scott Avenue, near the Merck facility, but that station was closed and demolished in 1993.
