The station is in zone 3 on the SEPTA R7 Trenton Line, on the Amtrak Northeast Corridor. In 2004, this station saw 1104 boardings on an average weekday. Amtrak stops at this station twice in the morning and twice in the evening during weekdays for commuters to New York's Penn Station. Each one-way trip is roughly one hour.
