Tobyhanna is a proposed NJ Transit commuter rail station located in Coolbaugh Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The station forms part of a site owned by a number of public and private entities including the Pennsylvania Northeast Regional Rail Authority. The site is adjacent to the former rail station; the building remains in place and is in use as the local historical society rail museum.

The proposed restoration of passenger service would be along the Lackawanna Cut-Off, with trains to northern New Jersey, including Newark Broad Street Station and Hoboken Terminal, and via Secaucus Junction to New York Penn. A 102-space surface parking lot will be provided at this location, and it will be situated on the vacant side and rear portions of this site. Access to this site will be from Church Street.[1]
