The Kearny Connection in Kearny, New Jersey, allows trains from New Jersey Transit's Morris and Essex Lines (part of the Hoboken Division) to go to New York Penn Station, known as MidTOWN DIRECT service. The connection opened on June 10, 1996. Two tracks, one on each side of the line to Penn Station, carry trains from the line to Hoboken Terminal, which passes under the Penn Station line, northeast onto the Penn Station line.
Out of 116 inbound and 121 outbound daily weekday trains on the three Morris and Essex Lines, 49 inbound and 48 outbound trains (about 40%) use the Kearny Connection.
The Kearny Connection is part of the bigger Kearny Junction.
