Location

Riverside station is a station on the River Line light rail system, located on Franklin Street in Riverside, New Jersey. The station opened on March 15, 2004.[1]

Southbound service from the station is available to Camden, New Jersey. It is the last station on the line before crossing the bridge over Rancocas Creek northbound to the Trenton Rail Station where there are connections to New Jersey Transit trains to New York City, SEPTA trains to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Amtrak trains. Transfer to the PATCO Speedline at the Walter Rand Transportation Center.

The station stands in the shadow of the historic Philadelphia Watch Case Company Building, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 31, 1978.[2] The Pennsylvania Railroad's Riverside station lay across Pavilion Avenue from the current station site.[3] Service between Trenton and Camden ended on June 28, 1963.[4] The station building still stands and is home to the Riverside Historical Society.
