[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by GPFISHER Hi, Can anyone be of help? I would like to get some information on a New Jersey RR that operated in the mid 1800 to 1960's before Amtrak took over. I believe it was called the Jersey Central for a while. There was one connection in Atlantic Highlands to sidewheel steamers that ran to New York. Any help would be appreciated. GF [/quote] Can it be CNJ? (statue of liberty on logo) Look for CRRNJ, CNJ on the web- Jersey City to Somerville was the main line... controlled at times by Reading or B&O - so look them up, too. WWI access to Pennsylvania Station via B&O (thanks to Fed Rwy Admin). Paralleled Lehigh Vally route. They ran 'mother hubbard' style steamers, too. Lots of LHS's carry (at small premium) their equipment in this area (central NJ) Look for shops in Piscataway, NJ and Scotch Plains (that's Tom's - the piscataway store I forgot the name of right now). Tom's does some scratchbuilding of truly IMPOSSIBLE to find stuff!
