    BORDENTOWN TO ROEBLING VIA THE RIVERLINE The tracks for the light rail train you are riding on were laid upon the right of way of the Camden & Amboy Railway Company, chartered in 1830 along with the Delaware & Raritan Canal Company (known as the “Joint Companies”) and laid in the1830s between Camden and Amboy. Both railroad and canal officially opened in 1834, but sections of the railroad were in service for freight in1833 with horse-drawn cars. Tied together and pulled by steam tugs, canalboats carrying coal from the Lehigh and Schuylkill Valleys would cross the river from Pennsylvania’s Delaware Canal. A cable ferry (1848-1912) and outlet locks at Lam- bertville and New Hope made the trip from the Lehigh Valley to Trenton much shorter, via the Feeder of the D & R. Schuylkill Valley coal continued to cross the river from Philadelphia and Bristol, entering the D&R at the Bor- dentown Lock (#1) at the mouth of Crosswicks Creek. What to look for Crosswicks Creek where it flows into the Delaware River Bluffs on the left on which Bordentown was built and the narrow strip of land under the bluffs where this train is traveling. Bordentown City is bordered on the south by Black’s Creek. Slips in the river shoreline on the lee side of Newbold Island where canalboats from Pennsylvania transferred their cargo (coal) to waiting trains or waited for entrance into Lock #1. Abandoned canalboats in the channel between Newbold Island and the shore, preserved because they are always wet. We have planned this trip for low tide so they can be seen.

  • Research Guide on Snake River Ferries
    Research Guide on Snake River Ferries Created by SHRA: January 2017 Introduction to Research Guide The history of ferry crossings and pioneer travel throughout Idaho’s Snake River region is rich and highly relevant to Idaho’s transportation history and development. The Snake River historically could be a fast and fierce river that made fording or wading across it nearly impossible. As a result, ferry boats and ferry crossings emerged as the primary means of crossing the Snake River from the mid-1800s through the early-to-mid 1900s. Before the era of bridges and automobiles, pioneers and settlers established ferries at narrow stretches of the Snake River to transport goods, people, livestock, wagons, and later, automobiles from one bank to the other. In the summer of 2016, the Idaho Transportation Department (hereinafter referred to as ITD) contracted with Stevens Historical Research Associates (hereinafter referred to as SHRA) to locate primary and secondary source materials on Snake River ferry locations within ITD’ District 3 boundary. This update emerged as part of mitigation work necessitated by ITD’s replacement of the historic Loveridge Bridge located on the border of Owyhee and Elmore Counties in section 33 of Township 5 South, Range 6 East, and section 4 of Township 6 South, Range 6 East (legal description references will hereafter be formatted thus: T6SR6E). Although ITD’s District 3 includes ten counties – Valley, Boise, Gem, Elmore, Owyhee, Ada, Canyon, Payette, Washington, and Adams Counties – the Snake River only crosses through or touches seven of them, and therefore, this updated portion of this reference series only reflects the ferry history of the Snake River Region within District 3.
