  • The Warren Railroad • Jeff Williamson • September 2012 New Jersey Can Justly Call Itself the C
    Coal bearing cars once travelled ew Jersey can justly along this length of the Warren call itself the crossroads of Railroad right of way through the America, but that moniker was Pequest Wildlife Management Area N Photo from author's collection; adapted by deserved before the ribbons of concrete and Gordon Bond asphalt laced across the state’s rivers and ridges. Long before the joke of “You’re from Jersey? Which exit?” the Industrial Revolutions turned the paths and simple roads of frontiersmen into byways for commerce and production. The fuel for this transformation in the early 19th century switched from charcoal harvested from the rapidly disappearing forests of New Jersey to the coal of the plentiful mines of Pennsylvania. Those who had access to the fuel were the ones that would survive the deforestation while those who did not, would not. Competition over access and transport was understandably fierce. This is the story of one path that succeeded only to be abandoned back to the nature from which it was carved. The Warren Railroad • Jeff Williamson • www.GardenStateLegacy.com September 2012 The Early Efforts The fight to get to the black diamond fields, as the anthracite coal mines of Pennsylvania were called, commenced and western New Jersey was the battlefield. Along the Delaware River between Easton, Pennsylvania and Philipsburg, New Jersey three canal systems, the Lehigh Valley, the Delaware and the Morris, were in place by the 1830s. These waterways helped transfer goods as well as Lackawanna anthracite from the mountains of Pennsylvania to points along the mid Atlantic coast, beyond and between.

[47 boxes] Box Contents | Company Name List Content Note The majority of the transportation corporations included in this series are railroad and street railway companies. These corporation files contain official documents pertaining to the corporate status and/or operations of each company, such as: incorporations (charters) and amendments, annual reports, agreements and leases, name changes, mergers, sales, route maps, etc. While some of the filings date to the early nineteenth century (e.g. documents from as early as 1816 in the Delaware and Raritan Canal file), most date from after 1875, when corporations engaged in business in New Jersey were required by law to file with the Secretary of State annual reports providing the names and terms of the company's directors, officers, etc. (see P.L. 1877, chap. 68). Box 46 of this series contains a card index to the corporation files, which not only records the years of annual reports received by the Secretary of State, but also reports individual filings for each company. A list of company names is provided following the box contents list below. The company name list provides the file number if a file exists for a company; in cases where a card exists without an actual file, "--" has been used in place of the file number.

NEW YORK, NEWARK AND PHILADELPHIA: HISTORICAL PUBLISHING COMPANY, PUBLISHERS, OOPYEIOHTED. GENERAL INTRODUCTORY. The growth of the American Republic is so marked in all departments of industry and commerce, that its best-informed citizens are not able to keep pace with the many very rapid changes that are continually going on about them. Particularly is this the case with the State of New Jersey, which, lying between the two great cities of the country, is made a vast area of great productiveness and exercising no little influence upon these two important centres. Recognizing the very great necessity of some work that would give to the world comprehensive information in regard to the growth and present status of the State, the publishers of this work have no hesitancy in placing it in the hands of the public, believing that no volume, heretofore issued, relating to New Jersey and its industries, contain so great an amount of useful information. For the purpose of giving a wider circulation of the work, it has been published in parts, each complete in itself, and these numbers will, at an early date, be revised and bound in one large and handsome volume.

[32 boxes, 1 portfolio, 511 volumes] Content Note | Box List | Index to Field Books | Reports Legislative History The 1910-1911 revaluation of New Jersey railroads and canals was first authorized by Joint Resolution No. 3 of the state legislature, approved 5 April 1909. A complete valuation of railroad properties had not been made since 1886, following the creation of the State Board of Assessors. The 1909 legislation directed the Governor to appoint three appraisers to make a complete inventory and appraisal of all railroad and canal property within the state, real and personal, including franchises (separately). The three men Gov. John Franklin Fort chose for the task were Samuel Whinery of Essex County, Charles Hansel of Union County, and Frank Stevens of Hudson County. The 1909 resolution also stipulated that the statewide revaluation be completed by September 1st of the same year. This time frame, however, proved to be insufficient for such a mammoth project; on 12 April 1910, additional legislation was passed allowing for the continuation of the revaluation by the State Board of Assessors (Laws of 1910, chap. 307). Under the 1910 act, the state appraisers were authorized to enter upon railroad and canal property for the purpose of inspection and appraisal at all reasonable hours, and were given the power to subpoena witnesses and records to aid their investigation.
