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.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or operations:
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
