A massacre... :(I've seen what I think are the remnants of the Englewood Station...it's in Downtown, at ground level right- no building (at least not anymore...), with badly maintained freight tracks running through it... |

If the Northern Branch had a proper route into Hoboken, it might have survived.Chris: It would seem that passenger service oh the northern Branch started dying the day that the GW Bridge opened. As early as 1938 service had been reduced to three trains each way on weekdays. A pattern that lasted until 1966. There were two trains each way on Saturdays up until 1958. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

When was the Newark Branch cut back to South Paterson?Spider: When the Erie-Lackawanna discontinued service through downtown Patterson in April 1963 it routed the Main Line trains over the Lackawanna Boonton Line between West End and Patterson Junction. Trains then ran over a re-built Newark Branch between that location and Patterson (Market Street). This section of the Newark Branch was re-designated the "Main Line" probably in October 1963. Newark Branch passenger trains would continue to operate over this section of track up until 1966. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

I didn't realize that train service to Pompton Plains lasted that long. We moved there in June of 1967. The old Pompton Plains depot is still there; it's now a museum. The track is gone, but the ROW remains. |
