The '''Main Line''' (or '''Erie Main Line''') is a [[commuter rail]] line owned and operated by [[New Jersey Transit]] running from [[Suffern, New York|Suffern]], [[New York (state)|New York]] to [[Hoboken, New Jersey|Hoboken]], [[New Jersey]], in the United States. It runs daily commuter service and was once the north–south main line of the [[Erie Railroad]]. It is colored yellow on NJ Transit system maps, and its symbol is a [[water wheel]].<ref>{{cite web |title=NJT System Map |url=https://content.njtransit.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/maps/NJT%20System%20Map%20April%202023.pdf |publisher=NJT |access-date=29 May 2023}}</ref>

The [[Bergen County Line]] splits off the Main Line just west of the [[Secaucus Junction]] transfer station and rejoins it at [[Ridgewood, New Jersey|Ridgewood]]. Trains on both lines are [[push-pull train|push-pull]], powered by diesel locomotives (ordinarily on the west end of the train).

==History==
The [[Erie Railroad]]'s main line ran from [[Jersey City]] to [[Chicago]] via [[Binghamton, New York|Binghamton]] and [[Jamestown, New York]], [[Akron, Ohio|Akron]] and [[Marion, Ohio]], and [[Huntington, Indiana]], with branches to [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]], and [[Dayton, Ohio|Dayton]]. The section in New Jersey and lower New York State saw frequent commuter service to the waterfront [[Pavonia Terminal]], Jersey City, with connections to the [[Pavonia Ferry]] to [[Lower Manhattan]].

The Erie Railroad's major long-distance passenger trains to [[Chicago]], the ''[[Atlantic Express and Pacific Express]],'' the ''[[Erie Limited]]'', and the ''[[Lake Cities (Erie Railroad train)|Lake Cities]],'' ran along this section, through Passaic, [[Paterson, New Jersey|Paterson]], Ridgewood, on to [[Port Jervis]], northwest to [[Binghamton]], New York State's [[Southern Tier]], [[Jamestown, New York|Jamestown]], and west to Chicago. The final long-distance train along this route was the ''Atlantic Express and Pacific Express'' in 1965.<ref>'Official Guide of the Railways,' June 1961, Table 3</ref> 
[[File:Roger Puta took these 5 during a cab ride on from EL freight NY-97 on April 25, 1970 (23777886193).jpg|thumb|left|Trains at the Erie Lackawanna rail yard in Waldwick on April 25, 1970]]

In 1963, the Erie Main Line south of [[Paterson, New Jersey|Paterson]] to its connection with the Bergen County Line south of [[Carlton Hill (Erie Railroad station)|Carlton Hill]] in [[Rutherford, New Jersey|Rutherford]] was abandoned and service began using the former [[Lackawanna Railroad|Lackawanna]] [[Boonton Branch]] south of Paterson via the [[Lyndhurst Draw]] and [[Upper Hack Lift]] bridges as the route through downtown [[Passaic, New Jersey|Passaic]] was abandoned. Nominal Boonton Line service began using the Erie's [[New York and Greenwood Lake Railway (1878–1943)|Greenwood Lake division]] up to its junction with the Lackawanna Boonton Branch at Mountain View in [[Wayne, New Jersey|Wayne]] as the Lackawanna right-of-way in Paterson was used for the construction of [[Interstate 80]] and [[New Jersey State Highway 19]]. The Erie Jersey City terminal was abandoned circa 1959 after all Erie service had moved to the Lackawanna Hoboken Terminal.

Service under Erie Lackawanna introduced new [[GE U34CH]] diesels and Comet I cars in 1970 which lasted under NJ DOT and Conrail into the NJ Transit era. Metro-North took over service north of Suffern in 1983. Effective April 18, 1983, [[Metro-North Railroad]] shifted its [[Port Jervis Line]] service to run on the [[Graham Line]] freight bypass, thus ending the direct passenger route from [[Harriman, New York|Harriman]] through Monroe and Goshen to Middletown. Service was increased along with the opening of the [[Secaucus Junction]] station in late 2003.

=== 1996 Secaucus collision ===
On February 9, 1996, a Main Line train was involved in a [[1996 Secaucus train collision|collision]] with a Bergen County Line train in Secaucus.

==Service==
Departing the historic 1907-built [[Hoboken Terminal]], the yards for the coaches to the left, trains pass over two city streets and the [[Hudson Bergen Light Rail]] before entering the [[Bergen Tunnels]] under the [[Bergen Hill]] section of [[Hudson Palisades]]. Midway through the tunnel there are air shafts allowing light through and venting out the diesel fumes. Exiting the tunnel, the train curves right onto the Main Line at West End interlocking in [[Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]]. Until 1963 this was the DL&W Boonton Branch; about a mile ahead was the connection built circa 1956 with the Erie main line (that after 1963 became the Bergen County Line). Two trains collided head-on here in 1996, killing two engineers and a passenger. The ramps for [[New Jersey Turnpike]] Interchange 15X now occupy the Erie alignment—since the Bergen County line was rerouted adjacent to the Main Line to pass through [[Secaucus Junction]].

At [[Secaucus Junction]], all trains stop for passengers to change to and from [[Northeast Corridor Line]], [[North Jersey Coast Line]], [[Raritan Valley Line]] and Midtown Direct trains on the [[Morristown Line]], the [[Gladstone Branch]], and the [[Montclair–Boonton Line]] on the upper level.

The Main Line then runs through an industrial section of [[Secaucus, New Jersey|Secaucus]]. Shortly afterwards the Bergen County Line curves right on its new connection to the Erie alignment. The Main Line then crosses over the [[Hackensack River]] on the single-track [[Upper Hack Lift]] bridge, built in 1958.

Double track resumes under the [[New Jersey Turnpike]]'s western spur after 0.4 mile of single track. The train continues through the Meadowlands and passes the first grade crossing at Valley Brook Avenue in [[Lyndhurst, New Jersey|Lyndhurst]]. The line curves slightly and passes through the 1903 Kingsland tunnel. Kingsland station is shortly after the tunnel in an open cut. Just beyond Kingsland station is Lyndhurst station, on an embankment.

After Lyndhurst the train crosses the [[Passaic River]] on a [[swing bridge]] that has been bolted shut (although it is technically required by Federal regulation to be opened on 24 hours notice).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2010-title33-vol1/pdf/CFR-2010-title33-vol1-sec117-739.pdf|title=Coast Guard, DHS |website=Gpo.gov|access-date=12 December 2018}}</ref> The train passes under [[Route 3 (New Jersey)|Route 3]] and approaches Delawanna station.

Next stop is [[Passaic (NJT station)|Passaic]], on an embankment. After Passaic, the Main Line has a stretch through some industrial areas before the [[Clifton, New Jersey|Clifton]] [[Clifton (NJT station)|station]], also on an embankment.

The Main Line passes under [[U.S. Route 46]] and the [[Garden State Parkway]] before it crosses under and over several streets in south [[Paterson, New Jersey|Paterson]]. It leaves the DL&W Boonton Branch alignment at about {{coord|40.886|-74.167|display=inline}} and reaches the Erie Main Line alignment at {{coord|40.905|-74.164|display=inline}}. This connection was single track when built circa 1963, then double-tracked in a rehabilitation project in 2002. The line passes under [[Interstate 80 in New Jersey|Interstate 80]] and heads into downtown Paterson. The Erie station in Paterson is elevated, with a center platform.

Continuing north the Main Line is elevated through Paterson, passing over streets. After several grade crossings in an industrial area, the tracks cross the [[Passaic River]] on a truss bridge. [[Hawthorne, New Jersey|Hawthorne]] is the next stop, at grade level. After a long stretch, the train reaches [[Glen Rock, New Jersey|Glen Rock]] station, at grade level at a crossing.

After Glen Rock the Main Line merges with the Bergen County Line at Ridgewood Junction. The line widens to three tracks (in Erie days the line was four tracks from here to Suffern NY). [[Ridgewood, New Jersey|Ridgewood]] station is next, with Spanish-style design on the station building and with newly constructed high-level platforms.

Next is [[Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey|Ho-Ho-Kus]], also at grade. [[Waldwick, New Jersey|Waldwick]] follows with an abandoned station building on the northbound side and a footbridge connecting the two platforms. Waldwick Yard is just north of the station with the restored WC tower on the southbound side by the yard. Just following Waldwick Yard is a [[level crossing|grade crossing]]. North of the grade crossing (which has three tracks) the line becomes two tracks.

[[Allendale, New Jersey|Allendale]] and [[Ramsey, New Jersey|Ramsey]] follow, both as grade-level stations. Ramsey-Route 17 station (opened August 22, 2004) is next. It is a park-and-ride facility located off of [[Route 17 (New Jersey)|Route 17]]&nbsp;south in Ramsey.

[[Mahwah, New Jersey|Mahwah]] follows and is the last station in New Jersey. Crossing over the [[New York (state)|New York]] state line the train arrives at [[Suffern, New York|Suffern]], the last stop for NJT Main Line trains.
