Current Operations
To get between its lines, the M&E has trackage rights on New Jersey Transit's Morristown Line and Montclair-Boonton Line west of West End (the junction west of The Palisades with NJT's Main Line); it uses the Main Line and the Bergen County Line to interchange with the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway at Passaic Junction. M&E's locomotives are NJT cab-signal equipped and not considered to be foreign railroad power on NJT lines. Freight is interchanged with Norfolk Southern at Lake Junction (the north end of the Chester Branch).
In addition to freight service, M&E operates charter passenger (excursion) service and rents railcars and conducts contract rebuilds of passenger cars. It also allows film production companies to rent trains for filming. Recent films including Far from Heaven, Mona Lisa Smile and the independent film The Station Agent, as well as the reality television series The Next Food Network Star, have used Morristown & Erie equipment. Scenes for Shontelle's music video for the song "Say Hello to Goodbye" were filmed on Morristown & Erie equipment at the M&E's Whippany passenger car storage facility in the summer of 2011.
