Possible old ROW in Clifton

While travelling on Kuller Ave in Clifton, which parallels the NJT Mainline there is a bridge the tracks ride over. It appears to be a RR Bridge. Did the DL&W have a branch line or something here.

You are talking in the vicinity of Kuller Avenue and the Garden State Parkway?

If that is the case the Newark Branch of the Erie went under the DLW's Boonton line on a North Easterly Diagnal. Part of the Newark Branch was used to connect the Boonton Line to the Erie Mainline at Paterson. The Lackawanna Right of Way which is the mainline not a branch went under the Garden State Parkway and branched away from the Newark Branch toward the left Northwest. If you go up to Marshall Street and Valley Road you should be able to see the bridge that went over the 4 track DLW Boonton Line. Just north of there the right of way is obliterated by route 20. I could still see it in the early 1980's if my memory is correct. Where Route 80 connects with route 20 is where the Boonton Line turned west to go up to Totawa and Mountain View.

Kuller Road is built on the Erie's Newark Branch, which was re-connected to the then DL&W Boonton branch back around 1958 or so when the Erie moved into Hoboken. The bridge you see (the concrete one on the south end) is the Boonton line over the old Newark Branch. At the north end on Kuller Road, the Newark Branch and the DL&W Paterson Branch (current NJT Main Line) parralleled each other into Paterson.
