Lodi Branch Railroad

The Lodi Branch Railroad Co, owned by the New Jersey and New York Railroad and then the Erie Railroad, was a short east–west branch line, around 2 miles long, from the Williams Ave Depot in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey (current Teterboro station) westward to the Lodi station at Main Street in Lodi, New Jersey. United States.

By 1896, the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway (also controlled by the Erie) took over the Lodi Branch, and built a junction and a shorter northwards branch to its main line, called the Hackensack and Lodi Railroad. This was preferable for several reasons: better access to Hackensack, New Jersey, and smoother freight operations on both lines. In the mid-1890s passenger service on the Lodi branch ceased, but the rails remained until at least 1928.
