Raritan Valley Line

The Raritan Valley Line is an NJ TRANSIT commuter rail route serving communities in Union, Somerset, Middlesex, Essex, and Hunterdon counties in New Jersey. Its core service runs between Raritan and Newark Penn Station, with some weekday trains continuing west to High Bridge and a limited number of weekday trains operating directly to New York Penn Station. The line is diesel-operated, shown in orange on the NJ TRANSIT system map, and is an important public transport link for central New Jersey riders traveling toward Newark, New York, PATH, Amtrak, buses, and Newark Liberty International Airport.

Route, Terminals, and Stations

The Raritan Valley Line route runs west from Newark through central New Jersey. Most eastbound trains close their trip at Newark Penn Station, while selected weekday trains continue to New York Penn Station. Westbound, Raritan is the regular endpoint, and High Bridge is served by a smaller number of weekday trains.

The route plan uses three rail corridors. From High Bridge to the Aldene Connection east of Cranford, trains follow the former Central Railroad of New Jersey Main Line, now owned by NJ TRANSIT. From the Aldene Connection to Hunter, the line uses Conrail’s Lehigh Line. From the Hunter Connection to Newark and New York, trains run on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor.

Accessibility varies by station. Newark Penn Station, Union, Cranford, Westfield, Plainfield, and Somerville are accessible high-platform stations. Roselle Park has a high platform, but it does not have a ramp or elevator to the street.

Main Terminals: High Bridge, Raritan, Newark Penn Station, and New York Penn Station

Raritan is the most frequent western terminal and the practical starting point for many trips. High Bridge is the farthest west endpoint, but only some weekday trains go there. On the eastern side, Newark Penn Station is the main terminal for most trains and the key transfer point for New York City, PATH trains, Amtrak, Newark Light Rail, and other NJ TRANSIT services.

New York Penn Station is served directly by a limited number of weekday trains, usually in off-peak service patterns. One weekday inbound train also serves Hoboken Terminal, but the main flow of service remains Newark, Raritan, and selected High Bridge trips.

Raritan Valley Line

Fares, Tickets, and Passes

Raritan Valley Line fare pricing is based on distance traveled. NJ TRANSIT offers one-way tickets, 10-trip tickets, weekly passes, monthly passes, and reduced-fare options for eligible riders. The exact ticket price depends on your origin and destination, so use the NJ TRANSIT fare calculator or ticket machine before you travel.

Buy your ticket before boarding when a ticket agent, ticket vending machine, or mobile ticketing option is available. TVMs accept credit cards, debit cards, and cash, but not bills larger than $20 (USD). Mobile tickets are available through MyTix.

Children ages 5 to 11 save 50 percent, and up to three children ages 4 and under ride free with a passenger paying a valid fare. Senior citizens age 62 or older, passengers with disabilities, and eligible military personnel may qualify for reduced fares with proper identification.

How Raritan Valley Line Fares Are Calculated

The cost of a Raritan Valley Line trip is based on distance. Longer trips generally cost more than shorter ones, and airport trips include an additional access fee when Newark Liberty International Airport Rail Station is part of the trip.

Reduced fares are available for senior citizens age 62 and older, customers with disabilities, military personnel, and eligible dependents. When using a ticket vending machine or MyTix, eligible riders should select Senior/Disabled to receive the discounted fare.

Ticket Types and Where to Buy Them

Available fare products include monthly passes, weekly passes, 10-trip tickets, one-way tickets, and one-way reduced tickets. Monthly passes can also be delivered by mail through Quik-Tik, which carries a non-refundable $3 (USD) processing fee each month.

Ticket vending machines are available at rail stations. TVMs accept credit cards, debit cards, and cash, but not bills over $20 (USD). Personal checks and Transit Benefits must be handled through a ticket agent or major terminal. NJ TRANSIT 10-trip tickets and student monthly passes are not available from TVMs.

Mobile ticketing through MyTix is often the easiest option. If you qualify for a reduced fare, select the reduced-fare option before purchase and be ready to show valid ID when asked.

Onboard Ticket Purchases and Surcharges

Tickets bought on board are subject to a $5 (USD) surcharge when a ticket agent or ticket vending machine was available before boarding. Train personnel accept cash only and cannot accept bills larger than $20 (USD).

Senior citizens and passengers with disabilities may buy tickets aboard any train without the surcharge, as long as proper identification is presented where required. Active-duty military members and Medicare recipients are also eligible for surcharge waivers where noted in NJ TRANSIT rules.

If you extend your trip beyond the destination printed on your ticket or pass, you must pay the one-way fare between that destination and your final stop. A flat $4.00 (USD) fee applies on certain trips when changing terminals involving Newark Penn Station, Hoboken Terminal, New York, or Secaucus fare gate transfers.

For Newark Liberty International Airport, one-way tickets include a $5.50 (USD) access fee and are encoded for airport fare gate passage. Children 11 and under do not pay the access fee, and the fee is waived on monthly passes with Newark Liberty International Airport as the origin or destination.

Schedule and Service Patterns

The Raritan Valley Line schedule is built around frequent service between Newark Penn Station and Raritan, with selected weekday extensions to High Bridge. Most eastbound trains stop at Newark Penn Station, where riders continue by NJ TRANSIT, PATH, or Amtrak if they are heading to New York City.

Direct trains to New York Penn Station are limited. They use ALP-45DP dual-mode locomotives and operate in selected weekday off-peak patterns because tunnel capacity into Manhattan restricts how many trains can continue beyond Newark. Direct service began as a pilot program on March 3, 2014, was later expanded, was suspended during positive train control work, and resumed on November 4, 2019.

Raritan Valley Line schedule

Weekday Service

On weekdays, the line provides core service between Newark Penn Station and Raritan, with service operating hourly or better. Some trains continue west of Raritan to North Branch, White House, Lebanon, Annandale, and High Bridge.

A limited number of weekday trains continue directly to New York Penn Station. These one-seat rides normally run during off-peak periods, not during the busiest rush hours, because of North River Tunnel capacity constraints. If your trip depends on a direct train, check the current route timetable before leaving.

Weekday service also includes one inbound train to Hoboken Terminal. For most Manhattan trips, though, riders should expect to transfer at Newark Penn Station unless the timetable clearly shows through service to New York.

Weekend and Holiday Service

Weekend and major holiday service operates on a more limited pattern. The key point is simple: there is no rail service west of Raritan on weekends. Riders traveling to High Bridge, Annandale, Lebanon, White House, or North Branch need a weekday train.

Weekend service operates on major holidays including New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, according to NJ TRANSIT schedule patterns in the provided materials. Some getaway or added service may run around certain holidays, so the opening times, operating hours, closing time, and last train can change from the regular timetable.

Before traveling, check the current train schedule, track status, and alerts. That is especially useful on holidays, when schedule today and timings today may differ from a normal weekday or weekend.

Connections with Other Transit Systems

The Raritan Valley Line is tightly connected to regional transport through Newark Penn Station. Most riders heading beyond Newark transfer there to NJ TRANSIT rail, PATH, Amtrak, Newark Light Rail, or local bus service. A limited number of weekday trains continue straight to New York Penn Station, but Newark remains the main interchange.

The line also connects with bus routes at many suburban stations. These connections make the RVL useful not just for commuting, but also for local transport between downtowns, park-and-ride facilities, colleges, and regional destinations.

Connections at Newark Penn Station

Newark Penn Station is the main transfer point for Raritan Valley Line passengers. From there, riders can connect to NJ TRANSIT rail lines, PATH, Amtrak, Newark Light Rail, and many NJ TRANSIT bus routes.

This station is also accessible, with high platforms. For many riders, the transfer at Newark is part of the normal route to New York City, especially when a direct one-seat train is not running.

Connections at New York Penn Station

The Raritan Valley Line offers limited direct weekday service to New York Penn Station. When direct service is available, it gives riders a one-seat ride between central New Jersey and Midtown Manhattan.

At New York Penn Station, passengers can connect with Amtrak, the Long Island Rail Road, and other NJ TRANSIT rail services. PATH is also available nearby on 6th Avenue and 33rd Street.

Getting to Newark Liberty International Airport

Raritan Valley Line riders can reach Newark Liberty International Airport by transferring at Newark Penn Station. From there, take a Northeast Corridor train one stop to Newark Liberty International Airport Rail Station, then transfer to AirTrain Newark for Terminals A, B, and C.

Your NJ TRANSIT airport ticket includes the AirTrain fee, so keep it handy for fare gate passage. Airport service is marked with the airplane symbol on departure boards.

Transfer at Newark Penn Station

Most eastbound Raritan Valley Line trains already terminate at Newark Penn Station, so the airport connection is straightforward. After arriving, check the departure board for a Northeast Corridor train serving Newark Liberty International Airport Rail Station.

The transfer can require a platform change, so allow extra time. If you are also comparing New York options, PATH may be useful depending on your final destination, but airport-bound riders should use the Northeast Corridor connection from Newark Penn Station.

AirTrain Connection and Airport Ticket Tips

At Newark Liberty International Airport Rail Station, transfer to AirTrain Newark for direct service to Terminals A, B, and C. Terminal A is a short walk from the AirTrain stop.

  1. Ride the Raritan Valley Line to Newark Penn Station.
  2. Transfer to a Northeast Corridor train.
  3. Travel one stop to Newark Liberty International Airport Rail Station.
  4. Use AirTrain Newark to reach your terminal.

Buy your airport ticket before boarding whenever possible. Tickets purchased on board may trigger the standard surcharge, and airport tickets include the $5.50 (USD) access fee unless an exemption applies.

Parking, Bike Access, and Station Facilities

Station parking can be limited along the Raritan Valley Line, especially on weekdays. NJ TRANSIT recommends carpooling or arranging to be dropped off when parking demand is high.

Parking may be available at Raritan, Somerville, Bridgewater, and Bound Brook. At Raritan Rail Station, daily parking is available in Lots 1 and 4 for $3 (USD) per day. These parking charges per day can matter if you commute regularly, so check station parking rules before you leave your car.

Bike access is allowed under NJ TRANSIT rules, but restrictions vary by bicycle type, train time, and crowding. Station accessibility also varies. Newark Penn Station, Union, Cranford, Westfield, Plainfield, and Somerville are accessible high-platform stations, while many other stations are not wheelchair accessible.

Park-and-Ride Options

Raritan Station has daily station parking in Lots 1 and 4 for $3 (USD) per day. The station is located between Thompson and Anderson Street, about 0.4 kilometers (0.25 miles) south of Route 202.

Weekday parking at many rail stations and bus park-and-ride locations can be extremely limited until about 6 p.m. Planning studies also noted that rail station parking in the area is often used to capacity and that additional parking at Annandale and High Bridge should be considered.

Somerville and Bridgewater are noted in the draft materials as having ample parking, and parking may also be available at Bound Brook. Always confirm the current station parking rules, including overnight restrictions, before relying on a lot.

Bicycle Rules and Bike Parking

Collapsible bicycles are permitted aboard Raritan Valley Line trains at all times. Standard-frame bicycles, electric bicycles, and Segways are permitted in accessible cars only, with weekday peak-period restrictions for eastbound trains arriving in Newark or New York between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. and westbound trains departing New York or Newark between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Cyclists should board through a door marked with the international accessibility symbol, usually near the center of the car. Since center doors do not open at low-level platforms, riders with standard-frame bicycles should travel to and from accessible stations only.

On weekend Raritan Valley Line trains to and from Newark, up to 12 bicycles are permitted. Bicycles are not permitted on certain connecting New York trains during weekend peak windows, and holiday restrictions also apply. There is no additional charge for a bicycle, but passengers remain responsible for their own bikes.

Bike racks are available at many New Jersey train stations, and enclosed lockers are available for long-term rental at some locations. Riders must provide their own locks.

How to Ride the Raritan Valley Line

Raritan Valley Line How to ride

Start by checking the current timetable, especially if you need a direct New York train, a High Bridge train, a weekend trip, or an airport connection. The Raritan Valley Line is simple once you understand the pattern: most trains run between Raritan and Newark Penn Station, some weekday trains go west to High Bridge, and limited weekday trains continue east to New York Penn Station.

Buy your ticket before boarding when possible. Use a ticket vending machine, the MyTix app, or a ticket agent where available. Keep your ticket accessible during the ride, and if you are transferring at Newark Penn Station, watch the departure boards closely.

Tips for First-Time Riders

Check the train schedule before you leave, not after you reach the platform. Opening hours, working hours, last train times, and holiday timings can change, and Raritan Valley Line service west of Raritan does not run on weekends.

At the station, stand behind the safety line and watch the gap between the train and platform. This matters even more in rain or snow. Keep aisleways clear, lower the volume on personal devices, and listen for conductor announcements, especially at Newark Penn Station.

If your destination is New York City, confirm whether your train goes directly to New York Penn Station or closes its trip at Newark. If it ends at Newark, transfer there to NJ TRANSIT, PATH, or Amtrak depending on your final stop.

Rules and Safety

Riding the Raritan Valley Line is generally safe when passengers follow station and onboard rules. Stand behind the platform safety line, watch the gap, and never board or leave a moving train.

Stay alert around tracks and crossings. Trains can arrive quietly, so listen for announcements, cross tracks only at designated locations, and never go around lowered gates at a grade crossing. Do not go near overhead electrified lines.

Keep bags, bikes, scooters, and other personal items out of aisleways. Larger items should be placed under seats or in overhead racks where possible. Smoking, including electronic cigarettes, is not allowed on trains, platforms, or in stations.

Only service animals accompanying customers with disabilities or their trainers, police dogs, and small pets in carry-on travel cages are allowed on board. In an emergency, follow crew instructions and listen for announcements. If there is smoke or fire, move to an adjoining car and evacuate through the nearest exit when instructed.

Brief History

The Raritan Valley Line is the modern remnant of the former Central Railroad of New Jersey Main Line. Its roots reach back to the 1830s, when the Elizabethtown-Somerville Railroad was planned as an early rail link in central New Jersey. The line reached Plainfield in 1838, Bound Brook in 1840, and Somerville in 1842.

For many years, Central Railroad of New Jersey trains ran from eastern Pennsylvania through Elizabeth and Bayonne to Jersey City, ending at Communipaw Terminal with ferry and bus connections to Manhattan. In April 1967, the Aldene Connection opened, and trains were rerouted via the Lehigh Valley Railroad and Hunter Connection to Newark Penn Station on the Northeast Corridor.

After the railroad’s bankruptcy, the former CNJ Main Line was conveyed to Conrail in 1976 and sold to the State of New Jersey in 1978, while Conrail continued commuter operations under contract. Service west of High Bridge was later reduced, and the line was cut back from Phillipsburg to High Bridge on January 1, 1984, after service to Phillipsburg Union Station ended in December 1983 because of low ridership.

Direct service beyond Newark came much later. Since diesel locomotives could not run through the North River Tunnels to New York Penn Station, riders historically transferred at Newark. NJ TRANSIT introduced weekday off-peak one-seat rides to New York Penn Station in 2014 using dual-mode ALP-45DP locomotives. That service was temporarily suspended during positive train control installation and resumed on November 4, 2019.

Future Service Improvements

The Raritan Valley Line Mayors Alliance has continued to push for better service, including more trains, easier Newark Penn Station transfers, and improved station conditions. The Gateway Project remains central to long-term expansion because full-time one-seat ride service to New York depends on expanded trans-Hudson and Penn Station capacity.

Short-term ideas include adding another inbound and outbound train and creating more same-platform transfers at Newark Penn Station. The Hunter Flyover has also been identified as an important future project because it would remove the need for RVL trains to cross eight tracks in Newark, reducing delays and increasing capacity for NJ TRANSIT and Amtrak.

Planning studies also point to additional parallel trackage on the Lehigh Line and a third track on parts of the Raritan Valley Line to support future express or overtaking service. Together, these improvements could strengthen the route, improve reliability, and support future growth along the corridor.

Best Stations, Downtowns, and Nearby Attractions

The Raritan Valley Line serves major rail hubs, walkable downtowns, Transit Village areas, colleges, and local destinations across central New Jersey. Newark Penn Station is the most important connection point, while Raritan, Somerville, Cranford, Plainfield, Dunellen, Bound Brook, and High Bridge are useful for local trips and downtown access.

Several communities on the line have been recognized through New Jersey’s Transit Village Initiative: Cranford, Plainfield, Dunellen, Bound Brook, Somerville, and High Bridge. These station areas are especially relevant for riders interested in downtowns, housing, local business districts, and transit-oriented development.

Newark and New York Connections

Newark Penn Station is the line’s main eastern hub. Most eastbound trains terminate there, giving riders access to NJ TRANSIT trains, PATH, Amtrak, Newark Light Rail, local buses, and downtown Newark destinations.

New York Penn Station is served by limited direct weekday trains during selected off-peak periods. On weekends and holidays, riders traveling to New York usually transfer at Newark Penn Station.

Downtowns and Transit Village Areas

The Transit Village Initiative began in 1999 through NJ TRANSIT, NJDOT, and other state agencies. Along the Raritan Valley Line, designated Transit Village communities include Cranford, Plainfield, Dunellen, Bound Brook, Somerville, and High Bridge.

These communities have used rail access to support downtown revitalization, development, housing needs, and better station-area planning. High Bridge became the sixth Transit Village on the line and the first in Hunterdon County in 2025.

The designation can bring priority funding, technical assistance, grant eligibility, and state support for redevelopment goals. For riders, it means several stations sit close to downtown areas that are practical to visit without a car.

Colleges, Parks, and Local Destinations

The Raritan Valley Line connects riders to colleges, downtowns, and local destinations across central New Jersey. Raritan Valley Community College is one notable destination in the corridor, and students taking at least 12 credits may qualify for a 25% student discount on NJ TRANSIT monthly passes through the NJ TRANSIT Mobile Student program at RVCC.

Somerville, Bridgewater, Bound Brook, and Raritan serve the Somerset County area. Cranford, Westfield, Plainfield, Union, and Newark Penn Station connect riders to larger local centers, bus routes, and regional transport links.

On the western end, Raritan is the most frequent terminal, while some weekday trains continue to High Bridge. That makes the line useful for commuting, school travel, errands, and local downtown trips.
