Possibly the RAREST Service on NJ Transit! | Hoboken, NJ - River Edge, NJ | Trip Report No. 6 [HD]

Hello, and welcome to ANOTHER Trip Report! Today, I ride possibly the RAREST Service on NJ Transit - an odd shuttle that terminates halfway down a single-tracked line and goes back as a not-in-service train. It takes about 40 minutes to go the full way, and you're pretty much stuck there for 45 minutes waiting for the next train back. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard NJ Transit Train 1653 - the New Bridge Landing Shuttle!

Tied with the once a day weekday Raritan Valley Line Raritan to Hoboken (with no return in the evening).

Love the Mister Rogers music.

Train #99 with 3 cars. Oh how sad it is. It used to have 6 to 7 cars and was always packed...

[@thomasnativo6491]

I've taken NJ transit to the City to the Knicks Basketball game at Madison SQUARE Garden near few blocks by Penn Station

[@thomasnativo6491]

Infact my Dad grew up in Hackensack Nj in 1980 on Hobart street and when he was in Hackensack High school he might saw the NJ transit GP40Ps and GP40FH-2 and F40PHs

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

A very enjoyable ride! And thanks for taking us along! Yeah, it's too bad NJT doesn't do a better job of keeping the windows clean, dirty window making the sun glare worse sure didn't make your filming easier. It looked like a fun trip just the same!

[@buildintotrains]

nicely put together

[@kjdickson]

Teterboro is the station closest to me and on AM rush hour service some trains skip it so if I can I usually take the longer trip to Essex Street. Anderson Street had a beautiful old Erie wood station house that burned to the ground a few years back. Cranbury Junction has great ice cream and Lido pizza is not far away. I never knew about this deadhead service midday to New Bridge Landing (formerly North Hackensack) .

Love seeing my state’s mass transit system represented! The only comment I have is to maybe not have what you’re saying be also written on screen. It’s a bit distracting having essentially subtitles that can’t be switched off. That being said, love the video, and can’t wait for more 👍

[@megasoid]

Great segment, thank you. Just subscribed.

[@fhwolthuis]

What a beautiful station, thanks for this great video and greetings from the Netherlands 👋

[@commercialcritic4676]

sweet!

[@nasirroper4011]

The alp 45 and 46 are actually 125mph capable

[@HeatherLandon227]

My fav Pad Thai spot used to be right near that station. Don't live up there anymore so..Not missing much.

[@user-pp7sq9ze6g]

How about RVL Train 2406 being akin to this service on the PVL It is the only RVL train to serve Hoboken and there is also no corresponding Hoboken departure/return trip.

[@westofhudsonstudios4726]

I talked about this with an RVL Local last night - I don't know exactly how I'll be able to do this since it's one-way only and it leaves Raritan at 5:15 in the morning iirc.

[@user-pp7sq9ze6g]

@@westofhudsonstudios4726 well... The last outbound arrives at 234am, and that leaves at 507am. 2.5 hours isn't terrible lol

[@westofhudsonstudios4726]

@@user-pp7sq9ze6g yeah thats what the local told me.

[@kevanhubbard9673]

Clear announcements but not so clear windows!One a day seems pretty infrequent for a built up area like that but it looks like,from the map,that plenty of other trains cover the route but maybe you have to change?

[@eliaomg]

6:33 I have a video of 4903 actually!

[@ShluffyMonster]

What day was this filmed? #99 replaces train #49 (Hoboken, NJ > Middletown, NY) as it serves two extra stops, otisville and port Jervis. Only runs a couple days a year, although it is basically the same as 49.

[@russkelly1684]

Review your phraseology, it’s very awkward and the meaning is difficult to comprehend at times. Diminishes what is otherwise very informative and enjoyable.
