The River Line (stylized as River LINE) is a hybrid rail service in southern New Jersey that connects the cities of Camden and Trenton, New Jersey's capital. It is so named because its route between the two cities is parallel to the Delaware River.
The River Line stops at the PATCO Speedline's Broadway station (Walter Rand Transportation Center) and the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line's Pennsauken Transit Center, providing connections to Philadelphia. Its northern terminus is adjacent to the Trenton Transit Center in Trenton.
It was originally operated by the Southern New Jersey Rail Group (SNJRG), which originally included Bechtel and Bombardier Transportation. Once the line was in operation, Bombardier became the sole member of SNJRG. In 2021, Alstom acquired Bombardier Transportation. On September 3, 2025, NJ Transit announced that it would take over operation from Alstom.
