This article will need a bit of an overhaul. It was announced July 18th that DMUs are no longer an option and that electrically-powered light rail will be utilized. Rhvanwinkle ( talk) 16:58, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
I would like to propose moving this article to Northern Branch (NJ Transit), and Northern Branch (Conrail) to Northern Branch. I would like to include information regarding the history of the line somewhere, yet neither of the current two articles are framed for this information and I do not think a third short/not comprehensive article about the same line would be good. After the proposed moves, the article at Northern Branch would be expanded to include historical aspects of the line, current uses, proposals, and contain the currently unused {{ Erie Railroad-Northern Branch}}. While the article about the proposed expansion of the HBLR deserves its own article now, I envision most of this being incorporated into Hudson–Bergen Light Rail once the line is completed, as this will be an expansion of the existing system and not a branch. The current popular use of "Northern Branch" may be the HBLR expansion project, but the name and rails come from the original Erie line - and the content at Northern Branch should reflect that. -- Scott Alter ( talk) 18:49, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
