Raritan is an NJ Transit railroad station on the Raritan Valley Line, in Raritan, Somerset County, New Jersey, United States, north of the town center on Thompson Street. The station building is south of the tracks in the main parking lot and was built in the early 1890s. There are also three other small lots for this station.

Raritan is the westernmost stop served by most Raritan Valley Line trains, as well as daily service. Service between Raritan and High Bridge operates during weekdays only.

The station building has been listed in the state and federal registers of historic places since 1984 and is part of the Operating Passenger Railroad Stations Thematic Resource.^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9] It houses the local VFW Post inside. A small section is still open during the winter with heaters so passengers do not have to wait outside.

Station layout

The station has two low-level side platforms serving two tracks. The inbound platform is slightly longer than the outbound platform at 393 feet (120 m) vs 377 feet (115 m). Both can accommodate four cars.^[10]
