Merge?[edit]

merge with The Camden & Amboy Railroad page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tlantanu (talk • contribs) 15:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Agree. Either merge, or move more of the pre-United NJ information over to the other article and eliminate the current redirects (Camden and Amboy redirects here, but The Camden and Amboy is a separate page), as it was once a separate company. oknazevad (talk) 12:58, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Corruption![edit]

Reading the WPA Writers' Project history of New Jersey, evidently this was considered a corrupting influence on state Politics. 104.229.142.212 (talk) 22:53, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1815[edit]

Under History: "The first railroad charter in the U.S. was issued 1815 to New Jersey RR Co. It allowed the company to build between New Brunswick and Trenton." But then you drop the subject. If it was allowed to build, when did it build?

You must also explain why Massachusetts's 1826 Granite Railway, not this one, was the first U.S.-chartered operational one.

I'm not enough of an expert to trust myself making the change myself.

Possible copyvio[edit]

I don't have the book "Triumph V Philadelphia to New York 1830 - 2002" (I wish I did), and was searching to see if it was available online, which it is not. This forum post came to my attention. It says that someone has picked entire paragraphs in toto from "Triumph V Philadelphia to New York 1830 - 2002" by David W. Messer and Charles S. Roberts and pasted them into [this article] without giving any reference to where it came from. Since I don't have the book, I can't verify whether this is true, but something has always looked a bit off for me on this article as there are many paragraphs of detailed information without any citations whatsoever. @Mackensen:, could you possibly look into this to see if this is indeed a copyright violation? Thanks so much.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 12:41, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kew Gardens 613, I don't have the book either but I will try to get it through my library. Mackensen (talk) 13:19, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Split[edit]

I think this article has gotten uncomfortably long (and it's most unreferenced). I'm working on turning New Jersey Rail Road and Transportation Company back into a standalone article. Mackensen (talk) 23:15, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, this is a mess. Why on earth is there still no article for the Camden and Amboy Railroad, one of the very first ones opened in the entire country? The ostensible subject of this article was a leased property of the Pennsylvania Railroad and I don't know why it needs its own article. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 12:35, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2005 merge. The page history is at Camden and Amboy Rail Road and Transportation Company. It may have been justifiable then, but I agree that C&A needs to be a free-standing article. United New Jersey Railroad and Canal Company survived until Conrail (on paper) so we probably need something here. Mackensen (talk) 13:05, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Trainsandotherthings wrote a bare-bones stub from Churella and Colpitts: Camden and Amboy Railroad and Transportation Company. Haven't reconciled with this article yet. Mackensen (talk) 03:23, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
