Morristown and Erie Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morristown & Erie Railway (reporting mark ME) is a short-line railroad based in Morristown, New Jersey, chartered in 1895 as the Whippany River Railroad. It operates freight rail service in Morris County, New Jersey and surrounding areas on the original Whippany Line between Morristown and Roseland, as well as the Morris County-owned Dover & Rockaway Branch, Chester Branch, and High Bridge Branch. The M&E also operated the Maine Eastern Railroad from November 2003 to December 31, 2015.
This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: The Morris County-owned branches are no longer operated by Morristown & Erie, as the contract was not renewed.. (July 2018) |
