A junction still exists, but is rarely used since the lines now serve passenger and freight traffic separately. The original Bound Brook Jct (where the Reading line to Philadelphia met the CNJ main line 1.6 miles west of Bound Brook station) was removed by Conrail years ago. The former LV main line is now operated by Conrail, CSX and Norfolk Southern and used for long distance and local freight services. The former CNJ main line is now NJ Transit's Raritan passenger line. 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.
