Delawanna is a station on NJT's Main Line. The station is located at the intersection of Oak Street and Delawanna Avenue in the Delawanna neighborhood of Clifton, NJ. This station is mostly served by NJT's Main Line. A select few MNRR Port Jervis Line trains a day stop here as well.  Tour What is this, MARC?     Delawanna station is completely inaccessible and has a low platform, one that's even worse than some SEPTA stations. There is no tactile strip at the end of the platform.    The platform itself is just asphalt. The tracks are above it, and there's a fence in between each track to stop you from crossing.  Inbound shelter   The shelter for the inbound platform looks kind of like a dog house.   Other inbound shelter, which is literally a bus stop shelter Signage   This signage is very bad, but I'll touch on that later.   Ramp   This ramp meanwhi...

New Brunswick is the least used Amtrak station in New Jersey.  History New Brunswick was always an intermodal station New Brunswick first gained rail service in 1838 from the New Jersey Rail Road, as the terminus station for their line between Jersey City and New Brunswick. In 1839, the Camden and Amboy Railroad completed a branch line between Trenton and New Brunswick, and these two lines met up at New Brunswick station. Now, people could take the train between Philadelphia and Jersey City, and a ferry from there to New York City itself. This arrangement mostly stayed the same for much of the rest of the 19th century, even after both the NJRR and Camden and Amboy merged into the United New Jersey Rail Road and Canal Company, which then got leased by the Pennsylvania Railroad.  In 1903, the old New ...
