List Of Stations On The Central Railroad Of New Jersey
At its peak, the Central Railroad of New Jersey Main Line led from Jersey City, New Jersey to Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Many of these stations became part of New Jersey Transit's Raritan Valley Line or have had service reintroduced to the location as part of the Hudson Bergen Light Rail, such as West 8th Street Station in Bayonne.
There has also been discussion of reintroducing rail service to former CNJ stations such as Phillipsburg or Scranton.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, stations, central, railroad and/or jersey:
“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)
“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.”
—William Jones (1746–1794)
“When life has been well spent, age is a loss of what it can well spare,—muscular strength, organic instincts, gross bulk, and works that belong to these. But the central wisdom, which was old in infancy, is young in fourscore years, and dropping off obstructions, leaves in happy subjects the mind purified and wise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Though the railroad and the telegraph have been established on the shores of Maine, the Indian still looks out from her interior mountains over all these to the sea.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Ladies and gentlemen, I have a grave announcement to make. Incredible as it may seem, strange beings who landed in New Jersey tonight are the vanguard of an invading army from Mars.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
