NJ Transit Rail Operations, the rail division of NJ Transit, operates a fleet of 175 locomotives and over 1,200 passenger cars. This rolling stock is used to operate NJ Transit's network of 11 lines.

Locomotives

Active revenue

These locomotives carry NJTR reporting marks for revenue service. Not included are the EMU cars, which are technically locomotives, but are listed in the passenger cars roster below.

Non-revenue

All non-revenue locomotives are diesel-powered and legally carry the same "NJTR" AAR reporting marks as all other equipment without exception. As these locomotives lack HEP, they do not haul trains in revenue service unless performing a rescue.

Multiple units

These trains are self-propelled, meaning they power themselves and don't require a locomotive for traction and HEP.
