The line is a consolidation of three individual lines: the former Delaware, Lackawanna Western Railroad`s Montclair Branch, which ran from Hoboken Terminal to Bay Street, Montclair; the Erie Railroad`s Greenwood Lake Division (segment from Montclair to Mountain View-Wayne), which originally ran from the Erie`s Jersey City Terminal to Greenwood Lake, NY; and the former Lackawanna Boonton Line, which ran from Hoboken to Hackettstown, New Jersey. The Montclair-Boonton line was formed when the Montclair Connection opened on September 30, 2002. The line serves 28 active rail stations in New Jersey along with New York Pennsylvania Station. It crosses through six counties, serving six stations in the township of Montclair, two in the town of Bloomfield, and one in the city of Newark. Trains along the Montclair-Boonton Line heading eastward usually originate at Hackettstown station, Mount Olive station, Lake Hopatcong, Dover station, and/or Montclair State University station, bound for either Hoboken Terminal or New York Penn Station.
