New Jersey Transit Rail is the backbone commuter rail service serving the state. The regional railroad become it's own operation in 1983 taking over NJDOT-subsisidized operations from Conrail. Every line has at least some trains that enter another state, either New York or Pennslyvania. Two projects in the 1990s, the Waterfront Connection and Kearny Connection, belended some terminal operations of the previously disconnected ex-Eire Lackawana Hoboken division, and ex-Pennslyvania and ex-Central Railroad of New Jersey Newark division trains, allowing some lines to serve both Hoboken and New York-Penn Station. The opening of Secaucus Junction Station in 2003, allows passengers easy connections and enabled through ticketing between all NJ Transit rail stations, except for the Atlantic City Line, making the lines of formerly competing private railways a coherent network.
