The Federal Highway Administration has issued its authorization for the
Chester Branch Rehabilitation project, enabling Morris County to seek bids
to improve the four mile active freight line in Roxbury.
The county in February applied to the North Jersey Transportation Planning
Authority for $5.8 million in federal stimulus funds through the American
Recovery and
Reinvestment Act for this project, contingent upon  federal authorization
being received.

"... the cars roll via gravity through the switch to the end of the line..."
