Editing Essex County, New Jersey (section)

===Rail===
Essex County has a large rail network, but most train service is geared toward the heavily utilized Newark/New York City commute. All of the passenger rail lines in the county are electrified, although many trains that continue on to non-electrified lines use dual-mode or diesel push-pull locomotives.

The [[Newark Light Rail]] is completely contained within the county. It has 17 stations in [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]], [[Belleville, New Jersey|Belleville]], and [[Bloomfield, New Jersey|Bloomfield]] and also operates out of [[Pennsylvania Station (Newark)|Newark Penn Station]].

The Newark City Subway is the only survivor of the many [[tram|street car]] lines that once crossed New Jersey, although it no longer uses street cars. It survived in part because it does not include [[street running]], instead following the abandoned [[Morris Canal]] right of way before going underground. It has one station in Bloomfield and one in Belleville on the old Orange Branch of the [[New York and Greenwood Lake Railway (1878–1943)|New York & Greenwood Lake Service]] of the Erie Railroad before entering Newark and turning onto the Morris Canal right of way. From there it follows Branch Brook Park before turning into downtown Newark as a subway. It has nine stops in Newark before terminating in Newark Penn Station.

The Broad Street Extension was built to provide connections between Newark Penn Station and Newark Broad Street Station and service to the waterfront of Newark. Leaving Penn Station, the line comes up from the subway and runs on streets or at grade for most of its length. It stops at [[NJPAC / Center Street (NLR station)|NJPAC/Center Street]], [[Atlantic Street (NLR station)|Atlantic Street]], and [[Riverfront Stadium (NLR station)|Riverfront Stadium]] before reaching Broad Street Station. From Broad Street it takes a different route stopping at [[Washington Park (NLR station)|Washington Park]] and NJPAC/Center Street before arriving at Penn Station.

The [[PATH (rail system)|PATH]] also operates out of [[Pennsylvania Station (New York)|Newark Penn Station]]. It has direct service to [[Harrison, New Jersey|Harrison]], [[Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]], and [[Lower Manhattan]].
