Lehigh Line Connection, Railway connection in Newark, United States
The Lehigh Line Connection joins Amtrak's Northeast Corridor with the Conrail Lehigh Line through a dual-track system near downtown Newark.
The connection transformed from a single track with Pennsylvania Railroad signaling systems to a modernized railway infrastructure after its reconstruction in 1997.
The railway line represents the evolution of transportation networks in New Jersey, connecting industrial centers and facilitating regional commerce development.
The current track configuration allows trains to operate at speeds of 45 miles per hour, supporting both freight operations and New Jersey Transit Raritan Valley Line services.
The connection features installed catenary wires despite lacking electrification, preparing for potential future electric train operations in the region.
