Editing NJ Transit Rail Operations (section)

==== Freight usage ====
[[File:ME Railroad Bridge 20110826-jag9889.jpg|thumb|[[Morristown and Erie Railroad]], one of the freight operators authorized to operate on the [[NJ Transit]] system, crossing the [[Passaic River]] in [[Roseland, New Jersey|Roseland]]]]
Although NJ Transit itself does not carry freight, NJTR allows freight service to be operated over its lines via [[trackage rights]] agreements with several railroads. [[Conrail Shared Assets Operations]] (CSAO), [[CSX]], [[Norfolk Southern]] (NS) and several short lines ([[Cape May Seashore Lines]] (CMSL), [[Dover and Delaware River Railroad]] (DD), [[Morristown & Erie Railway]] (M&E), and [[Southern Railroad of New Jersey]] (SRNJ) currently have trackage rights contracts to operate freight service on NJ Transit lines. The Morristown & Erie Railway can only use NJT trackage to get between its owned trackage; it cannot serve customers on NJ Transit trackage. A similar situation exists for Conrail on the Atlantic City Line.

Below is a list of NJ Transit lines and freight lines that operate on them:

*Morristown Line: DD, M&E
*Montclair-Boonton Line: DD, M&E
*Main Line: NS, M&E
*Bergen County Line: NS, M&E
*Pascack Valley Line: NS
*Raritan Valley Line: CSAO
*North Jersey Coast Line: CSAO
*Atlantic City Line: CSAO, SRNJ
