Jersey railroad and canal lines Of Tine United
Companies, By the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. is everywhere recognized as very
important event in the railroad history Of the
times comparatively few persons appreciate
the magnitude and scope Of the transaction.
The common idea Is that the Pennsylvania
Railroad has obtained control OF the two lines
of railroad between Philadelphia and jersey
CITY and between Camden and Amboy, and of
the Delaware and Raritan Canal, and that that
is the extent of the acquisition. But the truth
is that these roads constitute less than one
third of the whole amount Of roads which

transferred is four hundred and ninety Isht
