'''Secaucus Junction''' (signed as '''Secaucus''') is an intermodal transit hub served by [[New Jersey Transit Rail Operations|New Jersey Transit]] (NJ Transit) and [[Metro-North Railroad]] in [[Secaucus, New Jersey|Secaucus]], [[New Jersey]]. It is one of the [[List of busiest railway stations in North America|busiest railway stations in North America]].

The $450 million, {{convert|321000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} station opened on December 15, 2003. It was known as '''Secaucus Transfer''' during planning stages and was dedicated as the '''Frank R. Lautenberg Rail Station at Secaucus Junction'''. U.S. Senator [[Frank Lautenberg]], who died in 2013, was a transit advocate who had worked to allocate federal funds for the project.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Frassinelli, Mike |date=June 5, 2013 |title=U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg gets one last ride at the Secaucus station that bears his name |url=http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2013/06/us_sen_frank_lautenberg_gets_on_last_ride_in_the_secaucus_station.html |access-date=June 5, 2013 |publisher=The Star-Ledger}}</ref>

The station is on the [[Northeast Corridor]] (NEC) five miles west of [[Pennsylvania Station (New York City)|New York Penn Station]] and five miles east of [[Pennsylvania Station (Newark)|Newark Penn Station]]. At Secaucus, the NEC crosses above the [[Main Line (NJ Transit)|Main Line]], which originates/terminates at [[Hoboken Terminal]]; the station allows passengers to transfer between the two lines. The station is served by all NJ Transit rail lines except for the [[Atlantic City Line]] and the [[Princeton Branch]]. [[Amtrak]] trains run through Secaucus but do not stop.

A bus terminal was built at the station in 2016.
