I discussed this unusual branch before, but now I must ask again. Do trains still run on this line? The line is basically a stub since all rail connections to the east are either covered in brush or torn up. I've heard that NS used the line for garbage train ops until a few years ago when the contract went to CSX, who stopped using the branch, so I thought the line was permanently abandoned.
Now just yesterday, I read a quite hilarious (but still serious) tweet about how Journal Square smells like garbage. PATH's official alert account replied that the smell was caused by the garbage trains, which I thought had stopped some time ago. So does anyone have any information about this short branch? Do freight trains run on this line at all or is PATH's alert account just wrong about the source of the smell?

A train ride a day keeps the doctor away.
