Only one grade crossing was present on the original subway the line crosses Orange Street at grade so it can pass over the below-grade Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (now NJT Morristown Line) immediately to the north. The southernmost part, south of Warren Street, was capped with a new road, known as Raymond Boulevard. Works Progress Administration artists decorated the underground stations with Art Deco scenes from life on the defunct Morris Canal. The line opened in 1935 along the old Morris Canal right-of-way, from Broad Street (now known as Military Park) to Heller Parkway (now replaced by the nearby Branch Brook Park station).
