River Line, Light rail service in Southern New Jersey, United States
The River Line connects Trenton and Camden along the Delaware River, serving 21 stations across three counties spanning roughly 34 miles. This rail corridor links residential communities with urban centers and regional destinations along the water's path.
This railway corridor originated as part of the historic Camden & Amboy Railroad, halting passenger service in 1963 before reopening as a modern transit system in 2004. The revival transformed a 19th-century route into a contemporary transportation network.
The train line serves three distinct New Jersey counties: Camden, Burlington, and Mercer, connecting diverse communities along the Delaware River region.
Passenger trains operate during daytime hours while freight operations use the tracks outside these service windows. Check current schedules at stations to plan your journey accordingly.
The system runs 20 Stadler GTW 2/6 diesel trains, marking their first deployment in American commuter rail. These modern vehicles were specifically built for operating on this revitalized historic corridor.
