In 1958, the main line of the DL&W from Binghamton west to near <a href="/wiki/Corning_(city),_New_York" class="mw-redirect" title="Corning (city), New York">Corning</a>, which closely paralleled the Erie's main line, was abandoned in favor of joint operations, while the Lackawanna Cut-Off in New Jersey was single-tracked in anticipation of the upcoming merger. On the other hand, the Erie's Buffalo, New York and Erie Railroad was dropped from Corning to <a href="/wiki/Livonia_(village),_New_York" title="Livonia (village), New York">Livonia</a> in favor of the DL&W's main line. Most passenger service was routed onto the DL&W east of Binghamton, with the DL&W's <a href="/wiki/Hoboken_Terminal" title="Hoboken Terminal">Hoboken Terminal</a> serving all EL passenger trains. In addition, a short segment of the Boonton Branch by Garret Mountain in <a href="/wiki/Paterson,_New_Jersey" title="Paterson, New Jersey">Paterson, New Jersey</a>, was sold off to the state of New Jersey to build <a href="/wiki/Interstate_80" title="Interstate 80">Interstate 80</a>. Ultimately, the west end of the Boonton Branch was combined with the Erie's Greenwood Lake Branch, while the eastern end was combined with the Erie's main line, which was abandoned through <a href="/wiki/Passaic,_New_Jersey" title="Passaic, New Jersey">Passaic, New Jersey</a>. Sacrificed was the Boonton Branch, a high-speed freight line thought to be redundant with the Erie's mainline. This would haunt EL management less than a decade later (and Conrail management a decade after that). </p><p>Soon after the merger, the new EL management shifted most freight trains to the "Erie side", the former Erie Railroad lines, leaving only a couple of daily freight trains traveling over the Lackawanna side. Passenger train traffic would not be affected, at least not immediately. This traffic pattern would remain in effect for more than ten years—past the discontinuation of passenger service on January 6, 1970—and was completely dependent on the lucrative interchange with the <a href="/wiki/New_Haven_Railroad" class="mw-redirect" title="New Haven Railroad">New Haven Railroad</a> at <a href="/wiki/Maybrook,_New_York" title="Maybrook, New York">Maybrook, New York</a>.

Indeed, as very little on-line freight originated on the Erie side (a route that was more than 20 miles longer than the DL&W route to Binghamton), once the Gateway was closed (eliminating the original justification for shifting traffic to the Erie side) virtually all the EL's freight trains were shifted back to the Lackawanna side. After the New England Gateway closed, EL's management was forced to downgrade the Erie side, and even considered its abandonment west of Port Jervis. In the meantime, the EL was forced to run its long freights over the reconfigured Boonton Line, which east of Mountain View in <a href="/wiki/Wayne,_NJ" class="mw-redirect" title="Wayne, NJ">Wayne, NJ</a> meant running over the Erie's Greenwood Lake Branch, a line that was never intended to carry the level of freight traffic to which the EL would subject it. </p><p><sup id="cite_ref-Old_Road_note_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Old_Road_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1972, the <a href="/wiki/Central_Railroad_of_New_Jersey" title="Central Railroad of New Jersey">Central Railroad of New Jersey</a> abandoned all its operations in Pennsylvania (which by that time were freight-only), causing additional through freights to be run daily between <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth,_NJ" class="mw-redirect" title="Elizabeth, NJ">Elizabeth, NJ</a> on the CNJ and Scranton on the EL.
