The Kearny Connection in Kearny, New Jersey allows suburban passenger trains from New Jersey Transit's Morris and Essex Lines to run to New York Penn Station, instead of their traditional ferry terminal on the river in Hoboken. New Jersey Transit dubbed the new service MidTOWN DIRECT; the connection opened on June 10, 1996. The project took three years, and $70 million to build. The project cut travel time by 20 minutes, eliminating the need to go first to Hoboken and transfer to PATH. Two tracks, one on each side of the Northeast Corridor (NEC), carry trains from the DL&W main line, which passes under the NEC, northeast onto the NEC. The new junction on the NEC is designated "Swift Interlocking" and is seven miles west of New York.
