Camden & Amboy Railroad Right-of-Way Site |
| Description: |
The Camden & Amboy Railroad Right-of-Way Site is a small, preserved portion of the first roadbed laid for the C&A in 1832. It contains 22 undisturbed sleeper stones that have been deliberately exposed for the purpose of interpretation and public viewing. They were installed to support the iron rails of the first constructed railroad. This site was discovered in 1983 after being buried for more than 125 years, when the Pennsylvania Railroad built roadbed was removed. |

"John Bull" |
| Description: |
"John Bull", one of the earliest steam locomotives in the United States, was imported from England in 1831 for use on the first rail link between New York and Philadelphia along the Camden & Amboy Railroad. "John Bull" reduced the time it took to complete this trip from two days to just five hours. The locomotive was retired in 1866 and in 1981, was actually run under its own power commemorating the locomotive's 150th anniversary. It is currently on static display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. |
