The Burlington Branch was a railway line in the state of New Jersey, in the United States. It ran approximately 7 miles (11 km) from Burlington, New Jersey, to Mount Holly, New Jersey. The line was built by the Burlington and Mount Holly Railroad and Transportation Company between 1848 and 1849. It eventually became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad's network. It was the site of an early railway electrification experiment between 1895 and 1901. The line was abandoned in 1925.
