Hamilton station serves as a NJ Transit stop on the Northeast Corridor Line situated within Hamilton Township, Mercer County, New Jersey. Positioned at 600 Sloan Avenue near exit 65B of Interstate 295, the site also accommodates the NJ Transit bus garage for Hamilton Township.
The Hamilton Transit Center, inaugurated on February 21, 1999, functions as an intermodal facility adjacent to a repurposed former American Standard manufacturing plant, which has been converted into office space.
During peak hours, express trains provide service to New York Penn Station in roughly one hour; off-peak express journeys extend to about 75 minutes.
In 2019, the station attracted media coverage regarding early morning entry complications. Though the building—which houses a ticket counter, waiting area, and a Dunkin' Donuts outlet—is slated to open at 4:30 a.m. coinciding with the donut shop’s opening, entry depends on a Dunkin' Donuts employee unlocking the doors. The ticket counter itself opens later at 6 a.m., while platforms and a small enclosed waiting space remain accessible at all times.
Station layout
Two high-level side platforms serve the station and are linked by an over-track walkway. Amtrak trains running on the Northeast Corridor use the inner tracks and do not stop here.
