Hello and welcome to another video! Today, we’ll discuss the widely known rail line in New Jersey that is no longer operative and has created many memories for people who lived on this line. Ladies and gentlemen, me and Pensyfan19 welcome you to... The Incredible Story of the Boonton Branch! The Boonton Branch was first a major freight line until passenger (later commuter) service came along as the dominant kind of rail traffic. Built in 1870, it was mainly a freight bypass for the Morris & Essex RR and it lasted until 2002 when the last NJ Transit Boonton Line train made its trip before it was ripped up in favor of the new Montclair Connection. Anyway, enough yapping. Enjoy the video!
