Summit station is an active commuter railroad station in the city of Summit, in Union County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Located in a cut between Union Place and Railroad Avenue in Summit, the station serves as the converge/diverge point of NJ Transit's Morris and Essex Lines: the Gladstone Branch and the Morristown Line. Both services east of Summit station share lines until their respective terminals at Hoboken or New York Penn Station. The lines westbound diverge near Summit Yard, with the Morristown Line heading for Hackettstown and the Gladstone Branch trains running to the Gladstone station. The station has three tracks and two high-level platforms (one island platform and one side platform).
Railroad service through Summit began with the extension of the Morris and Essex Railroad from Orange to Madison on September 28, 1837. The current station was built from 1902–1905 as part of a grade crossing elimination project funded by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad.
