Meadowlands Rail Line is a rail line in New Jersey, United States, operated by New Jersey Transit (NJT). Trains run between the Meadowlands Sports Complex and Secaucus Junction, some with continuing service to Hoboken Terminal. There is a limited service on the line, with trains only operating in conjunction with major events. Upon its opening on July 20, 2009, it became the newest route of New Jersey Transit rail operations. It is represented on NJT maps with the color white; unlike other lines, it does not have a logo. It was built at a cost of $185 million.〔 The Meadowlands Station was built as a part of the rail network expansion and is next to MetLife Stadium, equidistant from the Meadowlands Racetrack, the Izod Center and unopened American Dream Meadowlands. ==Service== NJ Transit runs trains along the Meadowlands Rail Line for events where 50,000 or more attendees are expected, including New York Jets and New York Giants games. Trains begin running 3 hours before an event and stop up to two hours after its conclusion. Travel time between Meadowlands Station and Secaucus Junction is 10 to 13 minutes; a trip to or from Hoboken Terminal takes about 23 minutes. The agency considers full capacity to be 10,000 passengers per hour. NJT officials have said they will begin daily service when the American Dream Meadowlands retail and entertainment complex opens. In anticipation of increased ridership for Super Bowl XLVIII in February 2014 NJT extended platforms at Secaucus Junction by to accommodate multi-level 10-car train sets which can handle about 1,400 to 1,800 passengers per trip, moving about 14,000 or 15,000 people an hour. Secaucus Junction is a major interchange station for NJ Transit where all but three of its commuter lines stop. Connections are available to the Northeast Corridor Line and the North Jersey Coast Line to New York Penn Station and Newark Penn Station and points south; the Morris and Essex Lines Midtown Direct to New York Penn Station and points west; the Main Line, the Bergen County Line, and the Pascack Valley Line to points north. At its eastern terminus Hoboken Terminal connections to PATH trains, Hudson Bergen Light Rail, New York Waterway ferries and local buses are available. The ''Train to the Game'' is an excursion train operated jointly by Metro-North Railroad and NJ Transit, for Sunday football games starting at 1 pm. Trains running as part of this service originate at New Haven. They travel through southwestern Connecticut and Westchester County, cross Manhattan via New York Penn (thus avoiding the normally required transfer from Grand Central Terminal,) and continue through the North River Tunnels as regular NJT trains to Secaucus Junction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Train to the Game )〕 When the service first began, three trains operated in each direction. However, this was reduced to one train in each direction starting with the 2010 Football Season. In 2012, New Jersey Transit began introducing online ticketing service by offering round-trip tickets from New York Penn Station to Met Life Stadium during the 2012 NFL season. 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「Meadowlands Rail Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
