Clocker (train)
''Clockers'' were regular passenger trains between Philadelphia and New York City on the Northeast Corridor; on the Pennsylvania Railroad they left each terminal on the hour until the 1950s and a less-regular schedule continued on Amtrak. The first train run by Amtrak was a ''Clocker'' that left Penn Station at 12:05 AM on May 1, 1971.〔Boye Sagert (2007), 218.〕 The last ''Clocker'' ran on October 28, 2005; to replace them, New Jersey Transit added four express trains between Trenton and New York City at times approximating the ''Clocker'' schedule.

Amtrak's ''Clockers'' were rush-hour trains serving the commuter and day-trip market to New York City. New Jersey Transit (NJT) passholders could ride ''Clockers'', which were shown in NJT's timetable as well as Amtrak's. They were popular with commuters from Trenton and Princeton Junction, as they were faster and more comfortable than NJT trains.
''Clockers'' made all, or almost all, Amtrak stops between 30th Street Station in Philadelphia and Penn Station in New York, unlike Amtrak's ''Regional'' trains, which skip some stations. The trains were unreserved, coach class only, and used Amfleet rolling stock after the 1970s, although NJT stock was common in the last days of operation.
