Bound Brook Junction LV, CNJ, RDG Junction of former Lehigh Valley Railroad, Central Railroad of New Jersey main lines and Reading Railroad Port Reading Branch Bound Brook The junction still exists, but is rarely used since the lines now serve passenger and freight traffic separately. The former LV portion is now operated by Conrail, CSX and Norfolk Southern and used for long distance and local freight services. The former CNJ portion is now NJ Transit's Raritan passenger line. A branch line called the Port Reading Secondary, formerly called the Port Reading Railroad (RDG), originates at Bound Brook Junction and crosses northern Middlesex County to connect with the Chemical Coast line in Eastern Middlesex County. The Port Reading Secondary has been refurbished and upgraded by its new owner CSX as a second route to Oak Island Terminal in Newark, NJ (via the Chemical Coast Line) and other points on the CSX system. The line is now handling much more freight traffic than it had handled in the later 20th Century under Conrail, including long haul double-stack container freight traffic.
