The [[Fanwood station]] is an [[NJ Transit]] railroad station on the [[Raritan Valley Line]]. The building on the north side of the tracks (westbound platform) is a Victorian building and, like the north building at [[Westfield station (NJ Transit)|Westfield station]], is used by a non-profit organization. The ticket office is in the station building on the south side of the tracks (eastbound platform). The station provides service to [[Newark Penn Station]], and from there to [[Hoboken Terminal]] or [[Pennsylvania Station (New York City)|Penn Station]] in [[Midtown Manhattan]].

Currently riders can take one seat rides to [[Pennsylvania Station (New York City)|Penn Station]] in [[Midtown Manhattan]] during rush hour on weekdays, with transfer at [[Newark Penn Station]] required to reach to New York Penn Station at all other times, including weekends. The Raritan Valley Railroad Coalition<ref>[http://www.raritanvalleyrail.com/ "The Raritan Valley Railroad Coalition"]</ref> has been promoting the economic benefits of one-seat ride access to New York City since 1998. RVRC has succeeded in gaining one-seat rides during off peak hours during the week; there are nine trains in each direction where riders do not need to transfer at Newark Penn Station. The ultimate goal of RVRC is to extend such one-seat rides during rush hours, which would have been achieved with the [[Access to the Region's Core]] tunnel program, but this was cancelled by then Governor Chris Christie.

NJ Transit offers bus service to and from the [[Port Authority Bus Terminal]] in [[Midtown Manhattan]] on the [[113 (New Jersey bus)|113]] and local service on the [[822 (New Jersey bus)|822]] route.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100726183431/http://www.njtransit.com/sf/sf_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=BusRoutesUnionCountyTo Union County Bus / Rail Connections], [[NJ Transit]], backed up by the [[Internet Archive]] as of July 26, 2010.

[[Newark Liberty International Airport]] is approximately 25 minutes away to the east.
