Edison and the Middlesex County Towns Around It

The Rail Line, the Raritan and Route 1

Edison is one of the largest townships in New Jersey, and it's really a collection of older settlements stitched together by the Northeast Corridor rail line, Route 1 and Route 27. Around it, the towns of Middlesex County sit along the same rail line to the northeast, along the Raritan River and Route 18 to the southwest, and toward Raritan Bay to the south. If you're wondering why the grouping matters, it doesn't for the call. It's how the housing changes: older Victorian roofs near the rail stations, postwar ranches and split-levels nearly everywhere else, and newer colonials on the bigger lots. The same line serves every one of these places.
