EASTBOUND

- Customers connecting from the bus who continue to Mountain Station, Highland Avenue, East Orange and Hoboken should transfer to Train 424 at Summit.
WESTBOUND
- Train 851 will operate as far as Lake Hopatcong. However, customers traveling beyond Lake Hopatcong should transfer to the substitute bus at Dover (which is an accessible station).
- The bus will stop at Mount Arlington and Lake Hopatcong before continuing to Netcong, Mount Olive and Hackettstown.
