The video was shot in Rutherford New Jersey along the old abandoned Erie Main Line.
This section of the line runs from the Rutherford Junction, where the Erie's main line forked from the Bergen County, crossing the Passaic River on a now demolished Drawbridge. After crossing the river, the line headed westward along what is now Route 21and passed through the center of Downtown Passaic, New Jersey, before joining up to what is now NJ Transit's Main Line in Paterson. That small section between Clifton and Paterson is still in service and used by Norfolk Southern.
At the now Dufunct Jackson Ave railroad crossing sits the former site of the Carlton Hill train station.
Carlton Hill Station was a former railroad station for the Erie Railroad in the Rutherford, New Jersey. Carlton Hill station was the second station along the Erie's main line and the first station after Rutherford Junction where the Erie branched off from the Bergen County Line.
Carlton Hill Station opened in 1888 on Jackson Avenue and namesake Erie Avenue in Rutherford. The station was served by the main line until 1963, when the Passaic Plan was undertaken, removing tracks at Passaic Park, Passaic, Clifton, and Lake View stations. At that point, the nearby drawbridge was permanently swung open and later removed, leaving a branch to Carlton Hill. For the next few years, Carlton Hill received deadhead trains and a rare Carlton Hill - Rutherford - Hoboken Terminal train schedule. In 1966, when several underused branches, including the Carlton Hill, lost service, the old main line alignment to Carlton Hill was abandoned. The tracks remain, though the building is gone.
Half of this line looks like it has been turned into a nature trail, but the tracks remain intact, overgrown, but are still visible.
Enjoy!!!
