Location

Roselle Park is a New Jersey Transit railroad station in Roselle Park, New Jersey. Located on the Conrail Lehigh Line, which is owned by Conrail Shared Assets Operations on West Lincoln Avenue between Chestnut Street and Locust Street, it is served by Raritan Valley Line trains that travel between Newark Penn Station and Raritan. There is also limited service between High Bridge and New York Penn Station and one weekday morning train to Hoboken Terminal.

History

The station is located at milepost 16.0 on the Conrail Lehigh Line, part of the former Lehigh Valley Railroad main line, built by LV subsidiary Newark and Roselle Railway. The second station to stand on the property, it was built in 1967 during the construction of the Aldene Plan. The Aldene Plan was a joint project between the railroads, New Jersey Department of Transportation, and The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey which elevated trackage above ground level to eliminate grade crossings and rerouted Central Railroad of New Jersey trains, one of NJ Transit's predecessor railroads, from its aging Jersey City terminal to Pennsylvania Station in Newark.

Station layout and service

The station has one high-level island platform serving two tracks. The platform is 834 feet (254 m) long and accommodates nine cars. There is no elevator connecting the platform with the entrance.
