A branch line called the Port Reading Secondary, formerly called the Port Reading Railroad (RDG), originates at Bound Brook Junction and crosses northern Middlesex County to connect with the Chemical Coast line in Eastern Middlesex County. The Port Reading Secondary has been refurbished and upgraded by its new owner CSX as a second route to Oak Island Terminal in Newark, NJ (via the Chemical Coast Line) and other points on the CSX system. The line now handles much more freight traffic than it handled in the later 20th Century under Conrail, including long haul double-stack container freight traffic.

Junction was just north of Rutherford Station, and was controlled by a stone interlocking tower ("BJ"), which still stands at the site. The Main Line trackage diverted to the left, crossing the Passaic River into Passaic, where the rails went right up the center of Main Ave for about a mile with north and south bound auto traffic on either side of the rails. The Main Line continued through Paterson, and continued north until it met the Bergen County Line at its northern end at Ridgewood Jct ("WJ"). After the merger with the DL&W, the Erie Main Line was abandoned on west side of Passaic River and up through Passaic. The old Main Line tracks were used for a number of years after this time from the junction for about 1 mile west to serve two chemical companies that existed just east of where tracks used to cross the river (at Jackson Ave & W. Erie Ave, Rutherford). Today the old Main Line rails are still intact up to this intersection, along with dilapidated crossing gates and flashers. This track has not been used since the 1970s, is completely overgrown, and discussions are going on between Rutherford and NS to abandon it and turn it over to Rutherford for a bike/hike trail.
