[edit] Route Guide
The route guide should be cleaned up, and portions probably moved into their own articles on various stations. --SPUI 23:56, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- This is true, mainly with stations such as Dover and Summit which have seen massive upgrades since 1983 and Newark Broad Street which is being rebuilt. --Ken S. 17:19, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
- The Route guide originally looked like it was written by a railfan. Thats great if this was a railfan website. I've changed all the "You pass" to "The line passes". Basically I changed the section so it wasn't written to a 'you'. 3D jonny 00:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- I did a quick pass through the route guide and updated it with information and a few minor corrections jis (talk) 21:28, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Freight Trains
Has anyone heard anything about Freight now running on this line? I have heard that folks are upset about it in Summit and there is growing concern in Madison. November 13, 2005
- It has to do with the Rahway Valley and Lackawanna Cutoff restoration projects. Other than that, Norfolk Southern operates local freight service along the Morristown, Montclair-Boonton, and Gladstone Lines and Morristown & Erie moves its freight along the line. --172.172.221.133 17:13, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Ampere Station
The Ampere Station was located in East Orange and was the next stop after and before Roseville Avenue. Should this station be added with the other abandoned stations in the list. Misterrick 00:27, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ampere was on the Bay Street-Newark section of the Montclair-Boonton Line. I have removed it from the list after it was added as per the post below. The abandoned station between East Orange and Roseville Avenue is Grove Street. Both Grove Street & Ampere were abandoned in 1991. Ken S. 13:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Excuse me your wrong, the Ampere Station was not on the Montclair Branch it was in East Orange and ran on the Morristown line from Morristown, Newark Broad Street and Hoboken Terminal. I will be reinstating it and deleting it from the Montclair-Boonton line article. Just as a point of reference I have been riding these trains since I was five years old and when it was the old Erie Lackawanna service. 151.198.167.183 07:21, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- As per a 1980 M&E timetable and This map;

| Grove Street |

| Watsessing Avenue |

[edit] Edits on May 8, 2007
I made several changes and edits/add-ons, First I added the Orange and West Orange Jitney to the connections for the Orange and South Orange stations, second I removed the paragraph under the Short Hills station where it says Springfield Jitney I removed "an NJT-owned community bus service" the Jitneys are not owned by NJT but instead are actually owned by the Township in which they service, i.e. Springfield, Orange, West Orange etc... and run by a financial grant from New Jersey Transit and the New Jersey Department of Transportation, Here in West Orange they use a Jitney bus that the township purchased but for the majority of time they use the Senior Citizens Department buses and I also added Ampere Station which is a former NJ Transit station in East Orange that is now abandoned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.160.106.24 (talk) 21:05, 8 May 2007(UTC)
