Non-passenger Lines
NJTR also owns several lines not used for regular passenger service. These lines were purchased by the New Jersey Department of Transportation in the late 1970s for railbanking purposes, with ownership transferring to New Jersey Transit upon their creation in 1979. These lines are either leased for freight/tourist service, interim rail trail use, or remain derelict:

Famous quotes containing the word lines:
“Your letter is come; it came indeed twelve lines ago, but I
could not stop to acknowledge it before, & I am glad it did not
arrive till I had completed my first sentence, because the
sentence had been made since yesterday, & I think forms a very
good beginning.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
