That's to handle all the people who are...NOT moving into New Jersey:

New Jersey's population declined by 27,332 from April 1, 2020, through July 1 of this year (2022), according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates. The shift marks a 0.3 percent drop in the state's estimated population, which totaled 9.26 million as of July

There are still a lot of people moving into NJ from NY/NYC. NY/NYC is not the best place to live these days, but people still want access to those NYC/NY jobs that pay big $$$$

So they move to North/Central NJ where they can live in a safe(r) and cheap(er) area compared to where they came from in NY/NYC, while still being a reasonable distance from NYC/NY where a commute isn't that bad.

That being said tons of people further South in NJ are moving out. Not to mention, all these housing developments being built are meant to house only a couple of people, much less families. Far cry from the giant houses that were being built for big(ger) families in NJ some 20-30 years ago...

What do you want them to do with the line? It's been dead for how long before it was torn up? No reason to keep it if they don't use it and have everything rust there.

Yes it suckw, but they have a better use for that land right now.
