It is 15.4 miles southwest of New York Penn Station on the Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast It is between Broad Street and West Grand Street on an embankment and a viaduct. This station is often called Broad Street Elizabeth to distinguish it from North Elizabeth station. A number of bus lines have stops near this station. In January 2015 it was announced that a new station house, platforms, and stairways would be built. The project is estimated to cost $55 million (2015 USD). ==Overview== At the station the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad (today's Northeast Corridor) crossed over the tracks of the Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ); both railroads had stations there and passengers could transfer between them. The CNJ right-of-way in Elizabeth is now abandoned, and passenger trains which serve the former CNJ mainline (New Jersey Transit's Raritan Valley Line service) bypass Elizabeth via the Aldene Connection on their way to Newark Penn Station. The CNJ line station suffered from a freight train wreck on November 4, 1972 when a boxcar derailed and pulled several other cars into the canopy. Although the buildings and freight cars were damaged, there were no injuries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wreck at Elizabeth, NJ )〕 The proposed Union County Light Rail, which would have connected midtown Elizabeth with Newark Airport, would have had its western terminus at this station. The station for this line would have been referred to as Midtown Station to distinguish from the other stations in Elizabeth on this line. The plan has been replaced by the Union ''go bus'' expressway, a proposed bus rapid transit system between Garwood and the airport. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elizabeth (NJT station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
