Harrison is a PATH station on Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard south of the Interstate 280 overpass in Harrison, New Jersey. The simplest station in the PATH system, it opened on November 26, 1911 at the intersection of Rodgers Boulevard and New Jersey Railroad Avenue. When the PATH was realigned to Newark Penn Station in 1937, the station moved slightly south to its current location.
The station has two narrow, open-air side platforms. In between the PATH tracks are three center tracks that are used by NJ Transit and Amtrak.
Until recently, one could take the short ride from Harrison west to Newark for free. However, with the installation of new, smart card turnstiles at all PATH stations, passengers must now pay a fare to take the PATH to Newark.[1]
The station is served by the Newark-World Trade Center train.
