The lines include service offered on the Morristown Line and the Gladstone Branch, and the former Montclair Branch before 2002. Service is available directly to Hoboken Terminal or via the Kearny Connection to Secaucus Junction and Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan.

Passengers can transfer at Newark Broad Street or Summit to reach the other destination if necessary.
