Passenger yards are at Long Branch and Bay Head. Long Branch Yard is fully electrified, and mostly interlocked.

 in 1983. All the catenary poles between South Amboy and Matawan were constructed in the early 1980s. This extension was originally electrified at 11 kV, but with insulators capable of supporting 25 kV.

Electrification was extended to Long Branch in 1988. Catenary between Matawan and Long Branch was constructed in 1986-88, and was electrified at 12.5 kV 60 Hz, though as on the 1983 extension the insulators can handle 25 kV. This section of catenary is self-adjusting (constant tensioning) with ambient temperature.

In 2002 the electrification from Matawan to Long Branch was changed from 12.5 kV 60 Hz to 25 kV 60 Hz. As a result the Arrow III passenger cars can no longer run between those two points, since those trains can not run on two different voltages on one trip (the transformer voltage taps must be manually changed from alongside the MU).

Today, the line remains electrified at 11 kV 25 Hz AC north of Matawan. Three phase breaks segregate the different power sources along the line. As of January 2010, NJ Transit Customer Service claims there are no future plans to extend the electrification south of Long Branch.

Commuter Clubs

The line is also home to the last remaining private commuter passenger Club in the United States. The Jersey Shore Commuters Club was established in 1933 under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Currently it has use of half of a Comet IIM car - car #5459. In 2004, the Club Car went through a custom overhaul and was furnished, with the Club's own money, to include reclining lounge chairs, spacious seating, at-seat fold down tables, and private conference tables. The Club also hosts various onboard activities to preserve its heritage. Club members enjoy guaranteed and spacious seating as part of their annual membership fee that the Club remits to New Jersey Transit as part of its lease agreement. Membership is "open" and on a "first come first served basis" to those willing to pay the membership fee and abide by the Club's bylaws. The Club end of the car is furnished similar to Amtrak's Amfleet
