NEWARK, NJ – On Tuesday, February 24, NJ TRANSIT rail service (except Atlantic City Rail Line) will operate on a Presidents’ Day holiday schedule with some adjustments.

 

Service by Rail Line

 

  • Morristown, Gladstone & Montclair-Boonton Lines

Operating on a Presidents’ Day schedule with all Midtown Direct service to Penn Station New York diverted to Hoboken. Cross honoring in Hoboken will be in effect with PATH (to 33rd St.), NY Waterway Ferry (to Midtown/W39th St.)  and NJ TRANSIT 126 bus as part of the Portal Cutover adjustments.

 

  • Pascack Valley Line and Main-Bergen & Port Jervis Lines

Operating as scheduled on a Presidents’ Day schedule

 

  • Atlantic City Rail Line

Operating on a regular weekday schedule

 

Trains on the Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast Line, and Raritan Valley Lines will have the following schedule adjustments due to Amtrak work being done on the Northeast Corridor to clear snow from their track switches. Amtrak’s work will continue overnight, and these adjustments will remain in place until their work is complete.

 

  • Northeast Corridor

Operating on a Presidents’ Day schedule with the following adjustments:

  • Northeast Corridor trains will operate between Trenton and Metropark, then express to Newark Penn Station for travel to Secaucus and Penn Station New York. Trains will not make local stops between Metropark and Newark.

 

  • North Jersey Coast Line & Raritan Valley Line

    • Service will remain suspended on these lines. Resumption of service on these lines, along with the resumption of the local stops on the Northeast Corridor, is fully contingent upon Amtrak’s completion of their work to clear the snow from their track switches.

 

Bus, Light Rail and Access Link will all operate on a regular weekday schedule beginning with the start of the service day on Tuesday morning. However, customers should be prepared for possible delays, detours or cancellations depending on roadway conditions. 

 

Customers should continue to monitor service alerts, njtransit.com, the NJ TRANSIT mobile app or their individual line account on X (formerly Twitter) for the latest service updates. 

 

NJ TRANSIT’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is open and is closely monitoring conditions. Key personnel remain in the field and at NJ TRANSIT facilities to monitor and quickly respond to any impacts to the system.
