Current Operations
Newark Penn Station is frequented by the intercity Northeast Corridor Amtrak service, but most of its passengers are commuters. Three New Jersey Transit commuter rail lines converge here — the Northeast Corridor Line, which continues into New York; the North Jersey Coast Line, which continues to New York or Hoboken; and the Raritan Valley Line, which terminates here with one morning train continuing to Hoboken.
It is the west end of the Newark – World Trade Center line of the PATH, operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
On the lower level is the south end of the Newark Light Rail to Newark Broad Street Station and downtown Newark.
As of April 3, 2011 the public timetables showed 188 weekday trains westward from Newark: 106 NJ Transit from New York Penn, 5 NJ Transit from Hoboken, 26 originating NJ Transit to the CNJ main line to Raritan/High Bridge, and 51 Amtrak (plus the triweekly Cardinal).
Newark Penn Station carries the IATA airport code of ZRP.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or operations:
“We set up a certain aim, and put ourselves of our own will into the power of a certain current. Once having done that, we find ourselves committed to usages and customs which we had not before fully known, but from which we cannot depart without giving up the end which we have chosen. But we have no right, therefore, to claim that we are under the yoke of necessity. We might as well say that the man whom we see struggling vainly in the current of Niagara could not have helped jumping in.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
