Pocono Mountain is a proposed NJ Transit commuter rail station located in Coolbaugh Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania and is part of a site currently vacant that was formerly utilized as a summer camp. The proposed station site, which will include a 1,000-space surface parking lot, is located northwest of a multi-phased planned development for this area. Access to this site will be from PA Route 611 via Pocono Municipal Road/Mount Pocono Road and a local access road. The station is not dependent on any future development within the area.^[1] Rail service from this station to New Jersey and New York City would be provided by NJ Transit via the Lackawanna Cut-Off.
