Regional Rail Center Trenton has some of the best rail connections of any city on the east coast. NJ Transit (NYC and Newark), Amtrak (Boston-Washington), and SEPTA (Philly) all serve the newly renovated train station, which is 7/10 and 9/10 of a mile distant from Everett Corner and the Cracker Factory, respectively. The walk is largely through residential neighborhoods. Scroll down to view a map showing how to walk to the train station from Trenton Ferry. NJ Transit's service to NYC is superb. There are over 50 trains in each direction on a typical weekday. The earliest train to NYC leaves before 4 AM, and the last train back to Trenton is 1:41 AM. Express trains take just over an hour. There is also rail service direct to both Newark Liberty Airport and Philadelphia International Airport. |

Other Transit Options The River Line's Hamilton Avenue Station is only about 1/2 mile from the Cracker Factory, and 4/10 from Everett Corner. This serves many towns in the lower Delaware Valley, and connects in Camden to the PATCO High Speed line into Old-Town and Centre City Philly. It's a convenient and very inexpensive way to commute to Philly. NJ Transi'ts #607 bus travels down Centre Street, with stops convenient to both Everett Corner and the Cracker Factory. It connects Hamilton, Trenton, and Ewing. |
