The Trenton Subdivision is a railroad line owned by CSX Transportation in the U.S. states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The line runs from CP NICE in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, northeast to Port Reading Junction in Manville, New Jersey.^[2] The line was formerly part of the Reading Company system.^[3][4]

At its south end, CP NICE, in Nicetown-Tioga, Philadelphia, the Trenton Subdivision becomes the Philadelphia Subdivision, Conrail and Norfolk Southern has trackage rights to go through CP Park to access the Delair Branch. The north end of the Trenton Subdivision at Port Reading Junction is where the Conrail Lehigh Line (in the North Jersey Shared Assets Area) heads northeast and the Norfolk Southern Railway Lehigh Line heads west.

SEPTA Regional Rail's West Trenton Line parallels the line from Neshaminy Falls, Pennsylvania to Ewing, New Jersey, they shared the tracks until 2015 when CSX built a bypass at West Trenton station. SEPTA's Fox Chase Line parallels the line from Newtown Junction to Cheltenham Township, having used it until 2005 when single-track service on the SEPTA line eliminated the need for usage of the freight track.
