Bay Head (NJT station)
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Bay Head is a railway station in Bay Head, New Jersey. This station is served by trains on New Jersey Transit's North Jersey Coast Line, and it is the southern terminus for the line. The rail yard contains 33 acres (13 ha) of wetland inside the loop formed by the tracks used to turn around the trains.[2] The rail yard borders Twilight Lake. Parking is free at the Bay Head station although the lot is only about a fourth of the size of the lot at the next station, Point Pleasant Beach. Parking at Point Pleasant Beach Station requires payment.[3]
This station is not listed as accessible by New Jersey Transit. Passengers must use the train stairs to climb up to the cars or descend to street level. There is no ramp or platform to aid the handicapped in boarding. Weekend ridership to the Bay Head station rises during the summer as beachgoing vacationers take the train to the beach.[4] In May 2011, ticket vending machines were installed next to the station building at Bay Head.
