Local service is available on the [[58 (New Jersey bus)|58]] route, which is a direct descendant of Kenilworth's trolley route in the early 20th century.<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. Accessed June 18, 2012.</ref> The closest NJ Transit rail station is [[Roselle Park (NJT station)|Roselle Park]], less than a mile from the Kenilworth border and offering direct service into New York City's [[Pennsylvania Station (New York City)|Penn Station]] on the [[Raritan Valley Line]].<ref>[http://www.njtransit.com/rg/rg_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=LineDetailsTo&selLine=RARV Raritan Valley Line] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131015103641/http://www.njtransit.com/rg/rg_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=LineDetailsTo&selLine=RARV |date=October 15, 2013 }}, [[NJ Transit]]. Accessed July 21, 2014.</ref> The [[Rahway Valley Railroad]] passed through the community but is currently out of service, the final train on the line having left the borough in April 1992. Originally established as the New York and New Orange Railroad, the line stretched {{convert|11.8|mi}} from Aldene (now known as [[Roselle Park, New Jersey|Roselle Park]]) to [[Summit, New Jersey|Summit]]. The headquarters of the railroad were located in Kenilworth, originally in Kenilworth's Victorian-style station house until that was severely damaged in a 1974 fire, after which railroad offices were moved into a trailer and then an unused railroad club car.<ref>Boright, Walter.
