Port Morris Junction

Port Morris Junction and Port Morris railyard in 1985. The Lackawanna Cut-Off goes straight toward the upper right, while NJ Transit's Montclair-Boonton Line to Hackettstown, New Jersey, curves off to the left.

Port Morris Junction is the railroad connection between NJ Transit's Montclair-Boonton Line and the Lackawanna Cut-Off. Opened in 1911 by the Lackawanna Railroad, it is in the Port Morris, New Jersey section of Roxbury Township, New Jersey, south of Lake Hopatcong.

A temporary connection between NJ Transit's Montclair-Boonton Line, left, joins the Lackawanna Cut-Off at Port Morris Yard. Plans call for the junction to be returned to its historic location about 100 yards (100 m) to the east. When returned to service, it will be known as UN Junction after the former call letters of Port Morris Tower.[1][page needed]
