The Northern Branch Corridor Project is a planned extension of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) from its northern terminus into eastern Bergen County, New Jersey initially proposed in 2001. While many studies have been conducted as of May 2013 construction funding for the New Jersey Transit (NJT) line has not been identified. If built, the new service would use the right-of-way of the Northern Branch on which the Erie Lackawanna Railroad ran passenger service until 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. After mixed reactions and extensive community imput to a draft environmental impact statement, it was decided in 2013 to terminate the line at the Englewood Hospital and Medical Center. A separately conceived and funded bridge necessary for operation of the system is partially built.
