Following the implementation of the [[Aldene Plan]] in 1967, the station served as the western terminus of the Cranford-[[Bayonne, New Jersey|Bayonne]] Shuttle. The station is the eastern-most station on the old main line of the Central Railroad of New Jersey still serving as station. Like several other New Jersey Transit lines a once a week freight train can be seen in the early morning hours at Cranford station (which the plan has been currently scrapped due to NJ Transit train delay issues). |

Cranford is a New Jersey Transit railroad station on the Raritan Valley Line, in Cranford, New Jersey. The current Cranford station was built in the mid-1930s by the Central Railroad of New Jersey on an embankment as part of a grade crossing elimination project. Three stations preceded the current building. The station building has a ticket office, waiting area, and offices. The platforms are accessed by stairs and elevators.
The New York/Newark-bound train is on the south side, while the train to points west is on the north side. [3] Buses to New York, including rush hour express buses that are non-stop to NYC, stop on the north side of the station as well.[4]
Following the implementation of the Aldene Plan in 1967, the station served as the western terminus of the Cranford-Bayonne Shuttle. The station is the eastern-most station on the old main line of the Central Railroad of New Jersey still serving as station. Like several other New Jersey Transit lines a once a week freight train can be seen in the early morning hours at Cranford station (which the plan has been currently scrapped due to NJ Transit train delay issues).
Cranford Station has been identified as a stop on the Union go bus expressway, a proposed bus rapid transit line utilizing the a portion of the abandoned Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ) right-of-way between it and Midtown Station, a transit hub combining the NJT station and the former CNJ station in Elizabeth.[5] [6][7]
