River Line (Conrail)

The River Line has since been split into several sections, following the 1999 division of Conrail assets between Norfolk Southern Railway and CSX Transportation.

Freight trains continuing south of CP2 now use the Northern Running Track, a portion of a former Erie Railroad line that has been upgraded to handle the traffic.

The P&H Line runs west through what was the Pennsylvania Railroad's Bergen Hill Cut, just north of PATH, through a re-aligned Marion Junction.

The junction only allowed trains coming to/from the south on the National Docks to continue to/from the north on the River Line.

The River Line was abandoned east and south of the Tonnelle Avenue overpass at the North Bergen yard.

The River Line ran at the foot of the Bergen Hill parallel to the Hudson River until the former Weehawken Terminal , where it veered west under the Hudson Palisades through a tunnel to North Bergen Yard .
