The Northern Branch is a railroad line that runs from Jersey City to Northvale in northeastern New Jersey. The line was constructed in 1859 by the Northern Railroad of New Jersey to connect the New York and Erie Rail Road’s Piermont Branch terminus in Piermont New York to Erie’s Pavonia Terminal in Jersey City. The line was then extended to Nyack New York in 1870 and provided passenger service until 1966.
