Raritan Central continues to invest in the rail infrastructure within the Raritan Central Business Park to improve service for our customers. In March, 2025, the stub end siding behind 84 Mayfield Ave. was extended to connect with a long-severed siding serving 115 Northfield Ave. The project allows the over 90,000 s/f warehouse and cross dock to once again be connected to the national rail system, giving the occupants the option of using cost-saving and environmentally friendly rail transportation for shipping and receiving products.

The Raritan Central is pleased to offer rail-to-truck cross-dock and warehousing in the 384,784 SF former New York Times building situated at 3001 Woodbridge Ave., in Edison, New Jersey. This facility will soon be available for lease. Formerly used for paper-grade shipments, the facility sits on an 18.3 acre parcel and features an indoor rail dock for boxcars with six car spots, interior and exterior truck docks, easy access to I-95, and is only a short distance from New York City and the Port of New York and New Jersey. The Raritan Central will provide up to 6 day/week rail services with multiple switches/day and both CSX and NS connections. The cross dock will bring shipments closer to end-users in the Northeast marketplace with over 20 million consumers and countless businesses within a one-hour drive and much of the Northeast within a one-day truck trip.
