The following is lifted whole from wiki.

NJTR also owns several lines not used for regular passenger service. These lines were purchased by the New Jersey Department of Transportation in the late 1970s for railbanking purposes, with ownership transferring to New Jersey Transit upon their creation in 1979. These lines are either leased for freight/tourist service, interim rail trail use, or remain derelict:

Harrison-Kingsland Branch: derelict
High Bridge Branch:
High Bridge-Bloomsbury: NS
Bloomsbury-Phillipsburg: trackage removed due to construction of Interstate 78 in 1989
Red Bank-South Lakewood: Conrail Shared Assets Operations (CSAO)
Woodmansie-Winslow Junction: derelict
Beesley's Point Secondary:
Winslow Junction-Palmero/Beesley's Point: CSAO
Palermo-Ocean City: leased to city of Ocean City in 1999 for use as interim Ocean City Bike Path rail trail
Tuckahoe-Cape May: Cape May Seashore Lines, Southern Railroad of New Jersey
HX Interlocking (Hackensack River)-Croxton Yard: realigned for Secaucus Junction
Freehold-Farmingdale: derelict
Freehold-Matawan: leased to Monmouth
County Park System until 2020 as interim section of Henry Hudson Trail
