-->The
Frank R. Lautenberg Secaucus Junction Station, known as
Secaucus Transfer during planning stages, is a major rail hub in
Secaucus, New Jersey. The station was opened on December 15,
2003 to rectify a long-standing problem on
New Jersey Transit's rail system - many of its commuter train routes terminated at
Hoboken Terminal, forcing travelers to use the
Port Authority Trans-Hudson system or ferries to access
New York City. The construction of the $450 million, 312,000 ft² (29,000 m²) station atop the spot where the Hoboken-bound tracks pass under the
New York Penn Station-bound tracks allows travelers to switch trains more conveniently and save an estimated 15 minutes traveling to midtown.
Of New Jersey Transit's 11 commuter rail lines, three do not make stops at Secaucus Junction.
Raritan Valley Line service terminates at
Newark Penn Station; the diesel locomotives used on the line are not permitted in New York Penn Station or the Hudson River tunnels. The
Atlantic City Line runs only in the southern part of the state, and trains on the
Princeton Branch operate in shuttle service between
Princeton (NJT station) and
Princeton Junction (NJT station) only. Morris and Essex Lines trains arriving and departing from Hoboken Terminal do not operate via Secaucus Junction; only some of the
Midtown Direct service on those lines makes a stop at the station.
The station was named after Senator Frank Lautenberg, who had worked to allocate federal funds for the project.
Despite its name, Secaucus Junction is not a true junction (rail), in which trains can be switched between lines; there is currently no rail connection between the upper and lower levels. It would be more accurately called Secaucus Transfer or the Secaucus Connection, since it allows passengers to change trains rather than allowing trains to change direction. This might change in the future, if the
Trans-Hudson Express Tunnel program is built as planned.
To create the junction the bodies from the
Hudson County Burial Grounds had to be disinterred and moved to another cemetery.
In 2005, a new Exit 15X was opened on the
New Jersey Turnpike to provide access to the station and surrounding area. There is no public parking at the junction as it was built to allow rail commuters to get to mid-town
Manhattan more easily by switching to trains serving Penn Station.
The station is located on Amtrak's
Northeast Corridor line, but, as of 2007, no Amtrak trains stop there.
