West Trenton Line (NJ Transit)

As of 2007[update], NJT's estimate of the cost of creating a passenger line to West Trenton was $219 million.The Philadelphia-Newark service, like many former Reading and CNJ lines, was eventually subsidized by SEPTA and New Jersey Transit.In the early 1980s, SEPTA began cutting back its diesel-powered lines in preparation for the opening of the electric-only Center City Commuter Connection.[4][5] This service ended on December 3, 1982, consequent to significant reductions in federal funding for mass transit enacted by the Reagan administration in the prior year.A second track would also be installed between Pennington – Hopewell Road Bridge and the Belle Mead station for a distance of 10 miles.
The Reading Company's Belle Mead station, which saw service until 1982
Hopewell station, served until 1981, would be served again under the proposal
