Rahway station
The station is located in downtown Rahway on an embankment completed in 1913, with bridges over Milton Avenue and Irving and Cherry Streets.The present station was built by New Jersey Transit at a cost of $16 million and opened in early 1999.It replaced a passenger station built by the Penn Central and the New Jersey Department of Transportation in 1974, which was an Amtrak stop from May 1971–November 1975.Another station in the city, North Rahway, previously existed at Scott Avenue, near the Merck facility, but was closed and demolished in 1993.Service bound for Long Branch and other points on the North Jersey Coast Line use one side of this island platform just east of the junction, as these trains would not be able to switch off of the main track in time to switch onto tracks at the Junction towards the Jersey Shore.
