The Central Railroad of New Jersey Freight Station in Scranton, Pennsylvania was the western terminus of the Central Railroad of New Jersey line, 192 miles (309 km) from its base of operations in Jersey City, New Jersey. Located on West Lackawanna Avenue, over the Lackawanna River from downtown Scranton, near Steamtown National Historic Site, it is to be distinguished from the other legacy Scranton station, Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Scranton Station, where service persisted to January 6, 1970.^[2]
