More on Northern Branch
Description from Wikipedia:
Conrail's Northern Branch runs from their Passaic and Harsimus Line at Marion Junction in western Jersey City, New Jersey, (via a short connection known as the Marion Running Track) north to a junction with CSX's Bergen Subdivision and Northern Branch at CP 2 in North Bergen, New Jersey.
Recently, the line was improved to handle traffic that had formerly used Conrail's River Line on the east side of the New Jersey Palisades, which is now used for the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail. New Jersey Transit paid for the project, which included double-tracking the line, changing Marion Junction and Bergen Junction, and building overpasses on Secaucus Road and Paterson Plank Road.
Because of these recent changes, the Northern Branch now serves as part of a major CSX rail corridor from Upstate New York to the rest of the country. CSX's Northern Branch (which was owned by Conrail until the 1998 split) continues north to the New York state line, and is a minor spur. Through traffic moves onto the Bergen Subdivision (formerly Conrail's River Line) at CP 2.
