Information About

Easton And Amboy Railroad




The Lehigh Valley Railroad brought the charter to the Bound Brook And Perth Amboy Railroad and also formed a new railroad company to run across Western New Jersey from Phillipsburg to Bound Brook . These two railroads were combined under the name "Easton and Amboy Railroad". At Perth Amboy, a large coal dock was constructed to allow the coal to transport into New York City. These tracks were laid and started hauling coal in 1875.

Eventually, the Easton and Amboy Railroad was absorbed into the parent Lehigh Valley Railroad and it was used as a connection to the New York Area , with a terminus in Jersey City, New Jersey .
