Secaucus Junction is a major interchange station for NJ Transit where all but one of its commuter lines stop.
In anticipation of increased ridership for Super Bowl XLVIII in February 2014 NJT extended platforms at Secaucus Junction by 120 ft (37 m) 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.
The agency considers full capacity to be 10,000 passengers per hour. Travel time between Meadowlands Station and Secaucus Junction is 10 to 13 minutes a trip to or from Hoboken Terminal takes about 23 minutes. Trains begin running 3 1⁄ 2 hours before an event and stop up to two hours after its conclusion. NJ Transit runs trains along the line for events where 50,000 or more attendees are expected, including New York Jets and New York Giants games. Meadowlands station was built as a part of the rail network expansion and is next to MetLife Stadium, equidistant from Meadowlands Racetrack, Meadowlands Arena and American Dream. It is represented on NJT maps with the color gold, and uses the BetMGM logo. Upon opening on July 20, 2009, it became the newest NJ Transit rail route. The rail line was built at a cost of $185 million. There is limited service on the line, with trains only operating in conjunction with major events. Trains run between the Meadowlands Sports Complex and Secaucus Junction, some with continuing service to Hoboken Terminal. The Meadowlands Rail Line, branded as the BetMGM Meadowlands Rail Line as part of a naming rights agreement, is a rail line in New Jersey, United States, operated by NJ Transit Rail Operations (NJT).
