North Jersey Coast Line: Train 7204 (4:44 AM Long Branch Station Departure) Changes – Effective Saturday, March 21, 2026

To support emergency repairs on the catenary wires near Red Bank Station, Train 7204 (which usually originates at Long Branch Station at 4:44 AM) will instead originate at Aberdeen-Matawan Station on Saturday morning, March 21, departing at the usual time (5:10 AM) and making all stops to New York according to its usual schedule.

Customers who normally board Train 7204 at Long Branch, Little Silver, Red Bank, Middletown, or Hazlet stations should use Train 7208 (6:00 AM departure from Long Branch Station) on March 21 ONLY. Train 7208 will be the first train to depart Long Branch Station this morning.

We appreciate your patience as we accommodate this temporary adjustment.
