It is near Jersey Avenue in an industrial area next to a New Jersey Transit rail yard. Unlike all other stations on the Northeast Corridor Line, Jersey Avenue has low-level platforms (the rest are elevated), and since there is no wheelchair ramp it is the only station on the line that is not handicap accessible. Jersey Avenue opened in October 1963 as part of an experimental park & ride program. Jersey Avenue has a different layout than most New Jersey Transit stations. While it has two platforms, one for trains heading south toward Trenton Transit Center and one for trains heading north toward New York Penn Station, the northbound platform is not positioned across the track from the southbound platform as would normally be the case for most New Jersey Transit stations (especially those along the Northeast Corridor, which have a wider gap between platforms due to an extra track in each direction used by Amtrak). Instead, the northbound platform is set behind the southbound platform and the platforms are separated by a parking lot. With this layout, northbound trains cannot service Jersey Avenue and thus bypass the station en route to New York. Some southbound trains do terminate at Jersey Avenue, using a siding that is also used by special northbound trains that originate at the station. In April 2014 NJT approved a contract for a design for relocation and rebuilding station platform to permit high-level boarding, along with pedestrian overpass, vertical circulation, improved parking, and bus connection areas. as well improvements to 5 miles of the existing Delco freight line to make it a 130 kilometers per hour (80 miles per hour) main line track for passenger trains.Local trains are scheduled to take about an hour to travel the 34.4 miles to New York City; an express takes 43 minutes."@en }
