The Northern Branch Corridor Project is a proposed extension of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) from its northern terminus into eastern Bergen County, New Jersey. While initial studies have been conducted, as of September 2012, construction funding for the line planned by New Jersey Transit (NJT) is not in place. If built as planned the new service would use 12 miles of the right-of-way of the Northern Branch on which passenger service was terminated in 1966. and is currently a lightly used, stub-ended freight rail line owned by CSX Transportation. The Northern Branch Corridor is at the foot of the west side of the Hudson Palisades in the Hackensack River valley, running for much of its length parallel to Overpeck Creek. The proposal has been met with mixed reactions in the different communities through which the service would run. A separately conceived and funded bridge necessary for operation of the system is partially built.
