Newark Branch
The Newark Branch was a branch of the Erie Railroad's Main Line in New Jersey, United States, running between Jersey City and Paterson with stops in the Broadway Section in North Newark. Inaugurated in the 1870s, passenger service was discontinued on the line on September 30, 1966.

Service began by 1870 but was hindered by unresolved issues with landowners opposed to the seizure of their riverfront property.
Originally a crossing of the Lower Passaic River was planned so trains from Newark could travel east using the New Jersey Railroad bridge, ROW, and terminal at Exchange Place in Jersey City. In 1871, construction began on a new alignment from Newark to Jersey City.〔
〕 The company was re-organized in 1872 and renamed the Paterson, Newark, and New York Railroad.〔 when a crossing was developed at the site of NX Bridge. Eventually trackage from the river crossing converged with the New York and Greenwoood Lake Railway,〔 which crossed the Passaic to the north over the WR Draw. From that junction in the Kearny Meadows, the two lines continued east over the Hackensack River on the DB Draw to the Long Dock Tunnel through Bergen Hill, terminating at Erie's Pavonia Terminal,
