History
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:
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation, because as a result of what happened in this week, the world is bigger, infinitely.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
