Montclair-Boonton/Morris & Essex Lines: Service Changes due to Bridge Replacement – Weekend of November 22-23, 2025

Beginning at 5:00 AM on Saturday, November 22, and continuing until 3:00 AM Monday, November 24, service on the Montclair and Morristown Lines will be significantly affected by a bridge replacement project between Newark Broad Street Station and Hoboken Terminal. During this time, there will be no train service between Newark Broad Street Station and Hoboken Terminal. 

• Montclair Line service will operate between Bay Street and New York Penn Station, except for Train 513 (6:08 AM from Hoboken to Bay Street):
  • Trains departing Bay Street will operate 23 minutes later than usual, except for the last train (normally Train 544, the 12:01 AM departure). Replacement Train 6544 will depart Bay Street six minutes later.
  • Trains departing New York for the Montclair Line will arrive at Montclair Line stations up to 25 minutes later than usual.
  • See special Montclair Line printer-friendly schedules dated November 22-23 for details, including connecting trains at Secaucus.
