The Sussex Railroad was a short line railroad in northwestern New Jersey, built in 1853 to replace the Sussex Mine Railroad and headquartered in Newton, New Jersey. It carried dairy and ore exports for Sussex County until merging into the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad system in 1945 as its Sussex Branch, the last independently operated New Jersey railroad the DL&W absorbed; service ended in 1966 and the right of way became the Sussex Branch Trail.
