User:Mitchazenia/North Rahway station

North Rahway was a station on New Jersey Transit's Northeast Corridor Line and North Jersey Coast Line in Rahway, New Jersey. North Rahway was a small stop between Rahway and Linden, located at the Scott Avenue crossing next to the Merck Serono plant. New Jersey Transit abandoned service on the North Jersey Coast Line in October 1992. The service on the Northeast Corridor Line ended on January 31, 1993.

The station was a low-level, two side platform stop that opened in 1872 as Scott Avenue, until being renamed as North Rahway in January 1936.

History
The name of the station was renamed to North Rahway in January 1936 at the request of a Rahway Councilman. The City Common council had passed a resolution in the previous summer requesting the name change.

In June 1991, Rahway's Municipal Council voted to appeal to the Governor to provide aid and help remedy unsafe conditions at the railroad stations in the city, including at North Rahway. Though New Jersey Transit did some work at Rahway station, plans to do work at North Rahway fell apart.
