NJ Transit Rail Operations provides passenger service on 12 lines at a total of 166 stations, some operated in conjunction with Amtrak and Metro North Railroad (MNR). NJ Transit Rail Operations (NJTR) was established by NJ Transit (NJT) to run commuter rail operations in New Jersey. In January 1983 it took over operation from Conrail, which itself had been formed in 1976 through the merger of a number of financially troubled railroads and had been operating commuter railroad service under contract from the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT). Soon after its creation, NJT commissioned a survey of operating stations, 53 of which were eventually nominated and listed on the state and federal registers of historic places in 1984. Since 2009, NJT is a stakeholder in the state's "smart growth" transit oriented development initiatives, its transit hubs forming the basis for transit villages. The regional rail network, which serves the northern and central parts of New Jersey and Rockland and Orange counties in New York, radiates from Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, Pennsylvania Station in Midtown Manhattan, and Pennsylvania Station in Newark. Lines intersect at Secaucus Junction. Amtrak provides service in New Jersey along the Northeast Corridor (NEC) between Newark and Trenton and at intermediate points. |30th Street Station

In 1981, NJT commissioned the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to conduct a study of 112 train stations under its jurisdiction built before World War II that were still in operation. Many of thematic nomination stations are listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places (ID#5080) on March 17, 1984. Most were along former lines and heritage railroads that had become part of NJT, while West Trenton Station is used by SEPTA. The oldest station building, built in 1868 at the Ramsey Main Street station, was not listed. The oldest active station to be listed on NRHP was Hackensack's 1869 built Anderson Street station, until it was destroyed in a fire and explosion in 2009, and thus was delisted. Proposals to revive service on the West Trenton Line and Lackawanna Cut Off include the re use of some listed stations in both New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania. Two significant individually listed historic stations include Newark Pennsylvania Station and Hoboken Terminal, both of which are major stations that also serve as terminals for light rail, PATH subway trains, and in the case of Hoboken, ferries across the Hudson River to Pier 11 at Wall Street and the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal.

The NJDOT established the Transit Village Initiative in 1999 to promote transit oriented development (TOD), offering multi agency assistance and grants to municipalities for projects which fulfill certain conditions to promote higher density development and use of public transportation within a radius of a transit hub, specifying appropriate mixed land use strategy, available property, station area management, and commitment to affordable housing, job growth/maintenance, and cultural activities. Transit village development must also preserve the architectural integrity of historically significant buildings and the landscape. as of 2015, the state had made 30 transit village designations, many of which are centered around "Main Street" or central business district train stations. Since 2008, there has been significant population growth and increased ridership in neighborhoods around stations.

Between 2008 and 2016, New Jersey Transit added four infill stations on existing lines. as of August 2020, one additional infill station is planned. Several other lines are proposed for restoration. Parts of the Lackawanna Cut Off Restoration Project in New Jersey have been implemented and there are proposals to extend the line west and into northeastern Pennsylvania. Restoration of service along the West Trenton Line between West Trenton (with connecting service to SEPTA's West Trenton Line) and Bridgewater where it would junction with the Raritan Valley Line (RVL) has been proposed, but not advanced. Extension of the Raritan Valley Line in connection with the Lehigh Line into Lehigh County, Pennsylvania has also been considered.

NJ Transit has closed numerous stations since its inception due to realignments in service or low ridership.
