Off-peak service on the Northeast Corridor Line Trains runs about two trains per hour to Trenton, plus hourly North Jersey Coast Line electric trains on to Long Branch (transfer to a bihourly diesel shuttle there for Bay Head). New Jersey Transit serves the station on three lines, the Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast, and Raritan Valley Lines. All Northeast Regionals and Acela Expresses plus the Vermonter that continue northeast of New York City allow NWK-NYP intermediate travel. Amtrak has Discharge/Receive only restrictions for local travel to and from New York on all trains that originate or terminate in New York except for certain Northeast Regionals that allow travel just to New York although the train terminates there.

The platform/track configuration of the main level is Platform-Track 5-Track 4-Platform-Track 3-Track 2-Platform-PATH Track-Platform-Track 1-Track A-Platform. All rail trains stop on one of eight elevated tracks just after trains cross the Passaic River on the unique two level, 6 total tracks (2 electrified with third rail for PATH, one of the PATH tracks gently rises to a level above the rest of the station, the rest with catenary) double span vertical-lift Dock Bridge bridge.
