Had a blast doing this – and Central Jersey exists, no matter what anyone tries to tell you!

I agree with the HSR central jersey definition haha.

(Also I thought that I commented when this came out, but I guess it never posted 😅)

Just seeing this in 2026. The definition of Central Jersey IS if you had access to both NYC and Philly media market stations at your residence. It was great to hear another person verify this explanation.

The Acela central jersey definition changed my life

As soon as I read the title, I just knew Alan was in the video. I thought, how could he go to New Brunswick and NOT do a crossover with Alan. Despite this, I still internally screamed a little when Alan appeared. Looks like you had fun!

The space where the Dunkin is located used to be a barber shop. The lone barber, who was in his 70s and had been there forever, was kicked out in 2003 or 2004 to make way for the donuts. The city of New Brunswick then rented him space in the basement of one of the downtown parking garages. He was quite a character with a ton of stories.

I have family in central Jersey so the Trenton to Princeton Junction bus ride was oddly nostalgic. And yes, they get both cities' channels at their house.

I am genuinely shocked that this is the least used station. I traveled through here 8 different times to get to Rutgers marching band practice last summer (I was living in Northern VA so Amtrak from DC was my best bet) and I’d have thought WAY more people use it. Hope they don’t stop using it as a station!

23:22 I have actually sat in a coach seat for 15 hours on the SB Palmetto, and I must say, it’s very comfortable. Amtrak does a great job with their long-distance coach seats. There’s enough legroom for me to extend my legs all the way out (I’m 6’ 1) and the seats have all kinds of bells and whistles

Central Jersey by my definition is essentially the entire 732 area code.

I almost misread this title. I thought it said the least used NJT station. This is the busiest line on NJT. But yeah this and Princeton Junction are the least used station along the NEC when it comes to Amtrak. Nice that you came to my state. Watching from Jersey City!

I didn't realize this was an Amtrak station, so when I had to go from Boston to New Brunswick for a wedding, I got off at Metro-Park to transfer to NJT, which was exactly when I discovered I had been on the sole Boston-originating Northeast Regional (177) that actually stopped at New Brunswick, and could have saved 30 minutes and $3 had I stayed on that train. Oh well - today 177 no longer stops at New Brunswick.

THE most ambitious crossover episode!

Makes you appreciate the gentleman who films NJT with Star Wars music dubs

You should make more video's with Jeremy.
Good chemistry you both have together on screen.

Jeremy + Miles was unbelievably wholesome content.

I live in Monmouth County, NJ and can 100% confirm that Central NJ is a real place. From Exit 80, Toms River to the Driscoll Bridge on GSP, and from Exit 10 to Exit 6 on the Turnpike side.

Idk where Central Jersey is but I know that Six Flags exists within it.

My definition of Central Jersey is Trenton to Edison as well as Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

So I'm from Michigan, and in 2019 was visiting family in New Jersey, so as part of the trip I decided to take the Northeast Regional from Baltimore to New Brunswick. When my train left, I had the same feeling of loneliness and dread like you described, especially as it was evening (like in this video). Now, I'm a wheelchair user, and as I spent about an hour railfanning the station, I noticed a sign saying the elevator on my platform (northbound) was out of service. So when my ride came, we had to ask help from some police officers to get me down to street level.
It was great railfanning New Brunswick, but it gave me the scariest commute experience of my life so far.
