List of stations on the Central Railroad of New Jersey

The Broad Street entrance to the former Lafayette Street terminal of the Newark and New York Railroad

Main Line

At its peak, the Central Railroad of New Jersey Main Line led from Jersey City, New Jersey to Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Many of these stations became part of New Jersey Transit's Raritan Valley Line or have had service reintroduced to the location as part of the Hudson Bergen Light Rail, such as West 8th Street Station in Bayonne.

There has also been discussion of reintroducing rail service to former CNJ stations such as Phillipsburg or Scranton.
