content: The Camden & Amboy Railroad was charted in New Jersey in 1830.  The company purchased the "John Bull," one of the first successful locomotives in North America, from Robert Stephenson & Company of New Castle, England.  Its line ran between Camden and Amboy in New Jersey and was a link between New York and Philadelphia, which lies across the Delaware River from Camden.  The railroad was leased to the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1871.
