The Central Railroad of New Jersey (also variously called the Jersey Central or New Jersey Central) traced its beginnings to the 1830s and the Elizabethtown and Somerville Railroad. This work begins with 1849, when that road was purchased and renamed Central Railroad Company of New Jersey and reached Phillipsburg on the eastern shore of the Delaware River. By 1864 it extended eastward across Newark Bay to Jersey City also over the years also acquired various short line branches in New Jersey. The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company extened the road into Pennsylvania for the primary purpose of transporting anthracite coal to industrial metropolitan New York/ New Jersey.
