New Jersey Transit Rail Operations (reporting mark NJTR) is the rail division of New Jersey Transit. It provides commuter rail service in New Jersey, with most service centered around transportation to and from New York City, Hoboken, and Newark. New Jersey Transit also operates rail service in Orange and Rockland counties in New York State under contract to Metro-North Railroad.

New Jersey Transit's commuter rail network consists of 11 lines and 162 stations[1] primarily concentrated in northern New Jersey, with one line running between Atlantic City and Philadelphia. These lines are listed below.
Operations are in two divisions:

Not included in the above table is the Atlantic City Express Service route. While this route is operated with Newark Division employees, the service is not owned by New Jersey Transit. Rather, it is operated by New Jersey Transit under contract to Caesars Entertainment Corporation and the owners of the Borgata, collectively ACES, LLC, which fund the route.
New Jersey Transit Rail owns most of its tracks, infrastructure, bridges, tunnels, signals, and right-of-way. The exceptions are:
NJ Transit has a fleet of maintenance crews and vehicles that repair tracks, spread ballast, deliver supplies and inspect infrastructure. There are 8 non-revenue work diesels used for these purposes.
New Jersey Transit also owns the right of way of several branch lines that it does not operate, some of which are leased to freight railroads to serve freight customers.
Several railroads hold trackage rights agreements to operate freight service on NJT-owned lines. Conrail, CSX, Norfolk Southern and several short lines (Cape May Seashore Lines, Morristown & Erie Railway, Southern Railroad of New Jersey) currently have trackage rights contracts to operate freight service on NJT lines. The M&E must use NJT rails to travel between its own trackage. A similar situation exists for Conrail on the Atlantic City Line. Details as follows:
The former Boonton Line east of the new Montclair Connection is now owned by Norfolk Southern.
NJ Transit operates numerous drawbridges, or movable bridges, especially in the northeastern part of the state.

These locomotives carry NJTR markings for revenue service, except for units in bold, which carry MN markings for Metro-North's West-of-Hudson fleet. Not included are the EMU cars, which are technically locomotives, but are listed in the Passenger Cars roster below.

NJ Transit's rail network has 161 stations, varying in size from major commuter hubs like New York Penn Station, Hoboken Terminal and Newark Penn Station to small trackside plexiglas shelters or simple stops with only a small platform. New Jersey Transit owns and operates all of its rail stations except as listed below.
All of these stations are on the Port Jervis Line, where the MTA leases trackage from Norfolk Southern Railway.
These stations are along the Pascack Valley Line, along trackage owned by New Jersey Transit.
