The Montclair-Boonton Line is a commuter rail line on New Jersey Transit Rail's Hoboken Division. It is a consolidiation of the Montclair Branch and the Boonton Line, formed when the Montclair Connection opened on September 30, 2002. Out of 33 inbound and 37 outbound daily weekday trains, 19 inbound and 20 outbound Midtown Direct trains (about 55%) use the Kearny Connection (opened June 10, 1996) to Secaucus Junction and New York Penn Station; the rest go to Hoboken Terminal. Passengers can transfer at Newark Broad Street Station, Montclair State University or Dover to reach the other destination if necessary. This line operates weekday service only. There are also plans for electrification from Dover to Lake Hopatcong due to capacity issues at the yard in Dover.

  • The Montclair-Boonton Line is a commuter rail line on New Jersey Transit Rail's Hoboken Division. It is a consolidiation of the Montclair Branch and the Boonton Line, formed when the Montclair Connection opened on September 30, 2002. Out of 33 inbound and 37 outbound daily weekday trains, 19 inbound and 20 outbound Midtown Direct trains (about 55%) use the Kearny Connection (opened June 10, 1996) to Secaucus Junction and New York Penn Station; the rest go to Hoboken Terminal. Passengers can transfer at Newark Broad Street Station, Montclair State University or Dover to reach the other destination if necessary. This line operates weekday service only. There are also plans for electrification from Dover to Lake Hopatcong due to capacity issues at the yard in Dover. When the Montclair Connection was built, the Boonton Line, which had previously featured all-diesel operation, was electrified from the Connection to Great Notch Yard (west of the Montclair State University Station). The town of Montclair wanted diesels removed from the line, but electrification could only extend as far west as Great Notch Yard due to cost concerns (building eletrification to Denville would also require an additional substation; Great Notch Yard represents the extent of the existing substation), so passengers to/from west of Montclair State University must transfer at that station. Passengers had originally transferred at Montclair Heights and a station listed as Transfer Platform on the schedules (the MSU Station platform, in fact) before the Montclair State University Station officially opened on October 20, 2004.
