Jersey Avenue (NJT station)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jersey Avenue is a New Jersey Transit station on the Northeast Corridor Line, in New Brunswick, New Jersey. It is located on Jersey Avenue in an industrial area adjacent to a New Jersey Transit rail yard. Certain rush hour trains originate or have their southern terminus at Jersey Avenue. Most passengers who use the station are weekday commuters to Newark or New York City. As a result, there is no weekend service at the station.

No northbound trains stop at Jersey Avenue; in order to ride to Newark or New York, passengers must take a train which originates at Jersey Avenue. While some southbound trains terminate at Jersey Avenue, many others stop at the low platform on the main Northeast Corridor Line. Passengers getting off a train that stops at this low platform must use an end door towards the front of the train where conductors are posted.
