The line is only electrified north of Long Branch. Electrified operation began between Rahway and South Amboy on March 11 , 1936 . Electrification was extended to Matawan in 1983 and to Long Branch in 1988. Some Diesel trains operate through to Hoboken (via the Waterfront Connection ) or Newark. There are also Bay Head-Long Branch shuttles which connect to Long Branch-New York Penn Station electric trains. COMMUTER CLUBS The line is also home to the last remaining Commuter Club in the state of New Jersey. The Jersey Shore Commuter Club has use of half of Comet II car 5459 for their own activities. The club end of the car is furnished similar to Amtrak 's Horizon Fleet cars which are based upon the Comet design. The club's old car (PRR 1734) is being preserved by the URHS. Numerous other clubs had operated on the line using various cars including an ex- Florida East Coast observation car. However most of these clubs disappeared due to declining membership.
