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:
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
