The Erie Railroad once had line called the Orange Branch that passed through Newark, Bloomfield, East Orange, Orange, and ended at the Erie Loop on Main Street in West Orange. On September 20, 1966, the last train left the station.
The mission of our historical society is to preserve the history of this line and advocate for landmarking the Orange Branch corridor, with the hopes of someday transforming the abandoned remains as a rail trail or a light rail.
