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 Park Junction in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania northeast to Port Reading Junction in Manville, New Jersey along a former Reading Company line.
At its south end, near the Philadelphia Museum of Art at Park Junction, the Trenton Subdivision becomes the Philadelphia Subdivision; it meets the north end of the Harrisburg Subdivision a bit to the north. The north end of the Trenton Subdivision Port Reading Junction in Manville 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 uses the line from Oakford, Pennsylvania to Ewing, New Jersey. SEPTA's Fox Chase Line had also used the line from Newtown Junction to Cheltenham until 2005 when single-track service on the SEPTA line eliminated the need for usage of the freight track.
