When the Montclair Connection was built, the Boonton Line, which had been all- Diesel , was electrified from the Connection to Great Notch Yard (west of Montclair University Station ). The town of Montclair wanted diesels removed from the line, but electrification only goes west to Great Notch Yard, so passengers from west of Montclair University must transfer there. The transfer had been at Montclair Heights Station and a station listed as "Transfer Platform" on the schedules before the Montclair University Station opened on October 20 , 2004 . HISTORY In 1970 , the Boonton Line, which was originally part of the Delaware, Lackawanna And Western Railroad and later the Erie-Lackawanna Railway , was known as the '''Greenwood Lake-Boonton Line'''. When New Jersey Transit assumed operation of the line in 1980 it was renamed the Boonton Line, and then later renamed the Montclair-Boonton Line to reflect the merger of the line with the Morris and Essex Montclair Line in 2002 via the Montclair Connection . Three stations, all of which were east of Montclair, were dropped from the Montclair-Boonton Line when the Montclair Connection opened in 2002: No passenger service is currently provided to these stations.
