 On May 1, 2018, the company filed a Notice of Exemption to abandon the line and develop the property, including some portion of it as a city park.In addition to the exemption, the town of Garfield and Passaic cut portion of the spur at the Dundee-Bergen line connection, making the line out of service and isolated from shipments during possible reactivation.On June 10, 2019, the railway formerly petitioned for abandonment, citing negotiations with the future property owner, effectively permanently ending operation of the spur.
