NJT "operations"
NJ Transit Rail Operations (NJTRO) provides passenger service on 12 lines at a total of 166 stations, some operated in conjunction with Amtrak and Metro-North (MNR).

NJTRO was established by NJ Transit to run commuter rail operations in New Jersey. In January 1983 it took over operation from Conrail (CR), which itself had been formed in 1976 through the merger of a number of financially troubled railroads and had been operating commuter railroad service under contract from the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT). Soon after it was created NJT commissioned a survey of operating stations, 53 of which were eventually nominated and listed on the state and federal registers of historic places in 1984. Since 2009 NJT is a stakeholder in the state's "smart growth" transit-oriented development (TOD) initiatives, its transit hubs forming the basis for transit villages.

The regional rail network, which serves the northern and central parts of New Jersey and Rockland and Orange counties in New York, radiates from Hoboken, Midtown Manhattan, and Newark. Lines intersect at Secaucus Junction. Service from Atlantic City and south from Trenton, is provided by one NJTRO and two SEPTA lines to Center City, Philadelphia.  Amtrak provides service in New Jersey along the Northeast Corridor (NEC) between Newark and Trenton and at intermediate points.

From Port Jervis Line: The tracks have been owned by NS since the 1999 split of Conrail, but were built by the New York and Erie Rail Road and incorporated into Conrail on its formation on April 1, 1976.Djflem (talk) 08:39, 3 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Tracks are owned by Norfolk Southern, and leased (with an option to buy) by Metro-North. MNR has all responsibilities for maintenance and upgrades (see here. All NJ Transit does is operate trains on behalf of Metro-North. The Port Jervis Line hasn't been on the template in over six years because it is not an NJ Transit line. oknazevad (talk) 12:49, 3 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Ownership by NS and maintenance & marketing by MNR does not preclude the fact that Port Jervis Line service is part of NJT rail operations.Djflem (talk) 07:20, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
