Jerseyman, that's pretty neat. I had read about the CNJ as well as the Reading taking control of the railroad as they had both shared a lot of trackage. I didn't know that anything was actually done to access the Delaware Bay. From what I read the Reading was going to use this line to access the Delaware Bay because their original line to Camden was Narrow Gauged by the Philadelphia and Atlantic City RR (predecessor to ACRR), and it would be cheaper to just extend the line rather that standard gauging their 60 miles worth of track on the main. They decided to just standardize the main and I guess scrapped whatever plans they had to the Delaware. Thanks for the info.
