The story of the Old Road involves one railroad tycoon and four railroads: the DLW, the Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ), the Morris & Essex Railroad (M&E) and the Warren Railroad. The original plan only involved the CNJ and the DLW. The Warren Railroad would tie the two larger roads together. In the end, it would not work out that way.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“Don’t you realize that this is a new empire? Why, folks, there’s never been anything like this since creation. Creation, huh, that took six days, this was done in one. History made in an hour. Why it’s a miracle out of the Old Testament!”
—Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
