NJ Transit Rail Operations oversees passenger rail service on twelve lines serving 165 stations, some in collaboration with Amtrak and Metro-North Railroad. Founded by NJ Transit in January 1983, it assumed control of commuter rail operations from Conrail, which had been managing the service under contract with the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Early in its history, NJ Transit designated 53 stations for historic preservation, securing their inclusion on state and national registers in 1984. Since 2009, NJ Transit has engaged in New Jersey's "smart growth" transit-oriented development programs, utilizing its transit centers as hubs for transit village projects.

The rail network serves northern and central New Jersey as well as Rockland and Orange counties in New York, with major terminals at Hoboken Terminal, New York Penn Station, and Newark Penn Station. Connections between lines occur at Secaucus Junction. A distinct route operates from Atlantic City to Philadelphia, linking with SEPTA Regional Rail. Additionally, Amtrak runs services along the Northeast Corridor between Newark and Trenton.

NJ Transit has modified its station lineup over time, closing some locations and opening others to accommodate infrastructure improvements and service adjustments. Certain former station sites have been incorporated into the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail and the River Line, both of which utilize existing railroad corridors. Expansion initiatives such as the Lackawanna Cut-Off Restoration Project are in progress, while proposals to reinstate service on the West Trenton Line, Monmouth-Ocean-Middlesex project, and Raritan Valley/Lehigh Line routes remain under review without significant advancement.

Historic register listings

In 1981, NJ Transit engaged the State Historic Preservation Office to evaluate 112 train stations constructed before World War II that remained operational. A significant number were added to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places (ID#5080) in 1984. The SHPO proposed fifty-three stations for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places; forty were officially listed on June 22, 1984, with the rest added on September 29, 1984 (#64000496). The majority of these stations were situated along former rail lines now integrated into NJ Transit, although West Trenton station is operated by SEPTA.

The oldest existing station structure, dating back to 1868 at Ramsey-Main Street, was excluded from the listings. Hackensack's Anderson Street station, built in 1869 and once the oldest active listed station, was removed from the register following its destruction in 2009. Future plans to restore service on the West Trenton Line and Lackawanna Cut-Off envision reusing several listed stations located in both New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania.

Two prominent historic stations individually recognized are Newark Penn Station and Hoboken Terminal. Both function as vital transit centers, supporting light rail services, PATH subway trains, and in Hoboken’s case, ferry connections to Manhattan’s Pier 11 at Wall Street and Battery Park City Ferry Terminal.

Transit villages

Initiated in 1999 by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, the Transit Village Initiative aims to encourage transit-oriented development (TOD). It offers coordinated support and funding to municipalities that foster higher-density growth and increased public transit usage within a defined radius of a transit hub. The initiative prioritizes mixed-use development, available real estate, station-area oversight, affordable housing options, employment expansion, and cultural programming while maintaining historic architecture and natural surroundings. As of , thirty transit village designations have been granted, frequently centered around "Main Street" or central business district train stations. Since 2008, these communities have experienced notable population increases alongside rising transit ridership.

Managed by Other Entities

The West-of-Hudson operations of Metro-North Railroad are conducted by NJ Transit, which holds ownership of the Pascack Valley Line track and stations that are leased to Metro-North. Along the Port Jervis Line beyond Suffern, Metro-North either owns or leases the right-of-way through a contract with Norfolk Southern Railway and is responsible for station management. Additionally, two SEPTA Regional Rail routes conclude at New Jersey stations, with one not served by NJ Transit.

NJ Transit and Metro-North collaborated to run the Train to the Game service, designed for football events at the Meadowlands Sports Complex, making stops on the New Haven Line including , , and .

Planned and Upcoming Stations

Between 2008 and 2016, New Jersey Transit introduced four infill stations along existing routes. As of August 2020, plans are underway for an additional infill station.

Several rail lines are under consideration for reactivation. Parts of the Lackawanna Cut-Off Restoration Project in New Jersey have been carried out, with intentions to expand westward into northeastern Pennsylvania. There is a proposal to reinstate service on the West Trenton Line, linking West Trenton (which connects to SEPTA's West Trenton Line) with Bridgewater, where it would intersect the Raritan Valley Line (RVL), although this plan has yet to progress. Additionally, extending the Raritan Valley Line along the Lehigh Line into Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, remains a topic of discussion.
