Date: Friday, December 1 2006

As the nation's largest statewide public transportation agency, NJ Transit demands a maintenance facility that can keep up with the needs associated with providing reliable rail service to a steadily expanding customer base. The agency provides more than 250,000 passenger rail trips on a typical weekday, operating 730 trains across 11 commuter rail lines that serve 162 rail stations across the state. This feat is accomplished by effective manipulation of a fleet of 907 rail cars and 182 locomotives.
