Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-08-05
HOW The JERSEY CENTRAL TRACTION COMPANY
HAS GROWN FROM A LOCAL HORSE CAR LINE.

Starting as a horse car line extend
Ing from Lockport, through Keyport
to the station Of the New York s. Long
Branch Railroad at Matawan, the Jer-
sey Central Traction Company has de-
veloped into one of the largest and
most important electric railways in
New Jersey. 1t now extends from the
Highlands, ON the coast, to Perth Am
boy, passing through q part Of the
famous Monmouth county farming dis
trict, and forming a connecting link
between the great metropolitan district
surrounding New York City and the
noted seashore resorts OF New Jersey.
The cities and towns now reached by
the Jersey Central Traction Company
are Perth Amboy, South Amboy, Key
port, Matawan, F~reneau, Keansburg,
Belford, Port Monmouth, Red Bank,
Leonardo, Atlantic Highlands and
Highlands. With the completion of the
line to Perth Amboy, there is a pros
pect of it being extended on to the
borough Of Roosevelt and thence, pos
sibly, to Elizabeth, thus tapping the
metropolitan district itself. 1t Is evil
dent that the Jersey Central Traction
Company Is under too progressive a
management to stop when still unde-
veloped fields lie before 1t and within
comparative easy grasp.
There is nothing that the Jersey Cen
trail Traction Company has attempted
that it has not accomplished. Perhaps
the greatest problem it had to solve
was how to get past the Pennsylvania
railroad at South Amboy. Here 1t was
confronted by the famous "Hole-in-
the-Wall," the passageway under the
Pennsylvania railroad tracks, which was
the only road leading from South Am
boy to the Raritan river bridge. Then,
too@in reaching South Amboy, the Jer-
sey Central had at last reached the ter
ritory operated by the powerful Public
Service Corporation, which now owns
everything in the street railway line
in North Jersey and several lines to
South Jersey. 1t was evident that
the Public Service into consideration
henceforth. Undaunted, however, the
Jersey Central, under the excellent man
agement Of George I. Brown, went at
the difficulty following the curse Of
the least resistance, and by dint Of
perseverance and extremely hard work,
the apparently impossible has been
made a reality and the cars Of the Jer-
sey Central are at last running across
the Raritan river bridge and through
the streets of Perth Amboy. 1t is in
celebration of this event, and in an eff
fort to get the people. living along
the line Of the Jersey Central better
acquainted, especially to introduce them
to the advantages that Perth Amboy

across the bridge itself, the Public
Service opposed the granting Of this
franchise and considerable opposition
was worked up in other directions.
There was a strong demand for a con-
Meeting line between the two Amboys,
however, and the people were determine
ed that this opportunity should not be
lost. After many hearings the freehold
ers finally granted a franchise to the
Jersey Central Traction Company on
July s, 1907. This franchise has been
referred to as one of the closest aver
drawn. 1t is doubtful If there is a
franchise in the state Of New Jersey
in which the peoples rights are more
closely safe-guarded and in which the
people get more In exchange for the
franchise, than in this the one granted
to the Jersey Central Traction Company
to cross the Raritan river.
The Hole-in-the-W all-Muddle.
But the Jersey Central had secured
the bridge franchise before 1t had COM
pleted arrangements to get through
the "Hole-in-the-Wall." The city Of
South Amboy and the county Of Mid
dlesex had already started litigation to
compel the Pennsylvania railroad to
remedy the conditions at the so-called
"hole" but the matter got tied up In
the courts and there were SO many de-
lays that the Jersey Central found It's
time limit for putting it's proposed line
across the bridge had expired. Accord
ingly, the officials of the Jersey Central
again went before the Board of Chosen
Freeholders and asked for an extern
sion Of time. After the customary
hearings another ordinance was granted
by the freeholders August 5, 1907
granting an extension of time in which
to construct the line across the bridge.
In the meantime negotiations were
carried on with the Pennsylvania rail-
road in regard to getting under or over
the tracks of that company so as to
reach the bridge. 1t was not until last
year that a settlement was reached
whereby the Pennsylvania began extern
sive alterations at it's terminal in South
Amboy and in the changes made, it pro-
-vided for the opening of a new road
leading from South Amboy proper to
the bridge. This road passes under the
Pennsylvania tracks at the point where
the tracks Of the New York & Long
Branch Railroad also passes under.
But this arrangement involved a
change of route for the Jersey Central
and once more it found itself before
the South Amboy council asking for
a franchise to cover the new route.
This has been granted. In the 9
time the traction company has COM
pleted its trestle across the river, pass
ing onto the county bridge in order to

: Tho First Road.
Like the beginning of all such pro-
jects, the Keyport & Matawan Street
Railway Company was formed in re-
Keyport, as it's name implies, is situa-
In the past has been largely due to
fishing and Clustering industries. The
Inhabitants follow the water to a large
extent and paid little attention to rail-
roads. When the New York g Long
Branch Railroad was put through there
fore there was no particular inducement
to touch Keyport. Besides the object
then was to reach the Atlantic coast
by the most direct route and Matawan
was more in line with such a course
than Keyport. The result was that the
railroad was built through Matawan,
leaving Keyport a mile or two away,
along the shores Of Raritan bay.
But Keyport kept growing and its
people wanted more direct connection
with the rest Of the world. 1t became
necessary to have direct and frequent
connection with the railroad at Mata-
wan. The agitation for q connecting
line seemed to be spontaneous. 1t be-
came so insistant that finally a few
public spirited citizens got together and
after several meetings the Keyport &
Matawan Street Railway Company was
formally organized. This was in 1886.
Work was at once started on a street
railway line connecting Keyport with
the station of the New York & Long
Branch Railroad at Matawan. Trolley
cars, as we now know them, were not
thought of then. The horse car was
still the main means Of conveyance
other than by steam railroad or stage,
A track was laid along the highway
from Keyport to Matawan, a little car
was purchased and finally the day for
the opening Of the new line arrived.
It was hailed as a great occasion for
Keyport. There was public rejoicing
and great things were predicted of the
new line. Little did the people at that
time dream that they were then laying
the foundation for the great system Of
trolley lines now operating under the
name Of the Jersey Central Traction
Company. This new road was q success
from the start. 1t meant much for
Keyport and the people took a great
deal of pride in it. The horse car
would leave Keyport in time to meet
the trains at Matawan station and
would bring the passengers who alight-
ed from the train back TO Report.
Change of Name.
The street car line continued under
it's original management until 1888. In

Now One of the Largest Systems In State.

p~aratively few people of Red Bank had
any reason to visit South Amboy and
the people of South Amboy would hard
ly know what to do with themselves
when they got to Red Bank, except
to board another car and go to Long
Branch and Asbury Park.
To overcome this and to have a real
terminus all of it's own, the route to
Atlantic Highlands and Highlands was
planned. At the Highlands the lima
reached the beginning of the famous
summer resorts along the New Jersey
coast. This was at Sandy Hook itself.
Here was Highland Beach, and all the
attractions that are sought by the
crowds during the hot months. Here
was a terminal that really meant some
thing and the opening of the line meant
much to the Jersey Central Traction
Company. Campbell's Junction became
the central point where cars from Red
Ban., from Keyport and from the
Highlands met. The first car was run
over the Highlands line in 1907. The
car barn was built during this year.
The following year, 1908, the line to
Atlantic Highlands was constructed.
Both these places had been without
trolley service before the advent of the
now line meant much to them. The
traffic between Red Bank and High
lands and Atlantic Highlands has de-
veloped wonderfully and the company
has about all it can do to handle the
crowds during the summer rush season.
The Highlands furnishes a delightful
place for a days outing and the Jersey
Centra1 Traction OmDan makes il
most convenient to reach.
Getting Through South Amboy.
The first car over the Jersey Central
line was run to South Amboy, April
7, 1904. This was only to the city
limits, however. The Public Service
held a franchise through South Amboy
and passengers were compelled to leave
the Jersey Central cars at the city line
and take a Public Service car in order
to get down into the city itself. 1t was
not until some time later that arrange
ments were completed with the Public
Service whereby the Jersey Central
