This is the authoritative work on the miningregion of northern New Jersey andthe railroads that served them.

Railroads in this region, like the Lackawannaand Central Railroad of New Jerseyand their predecessors, greatly influenced the communities they served.

Two and a half centuries of iron mining and manufacturing left an indeliblemark on the land and people of northern New Jersey. This detailed history tellsthe story of the small railroads that grew up with the industry, expanded andeventually declined, including the Chester Railroad, the Mount Hope MineralRailroad, the Wharton & Northern Railroad, the Ferromonte Railroad, theOgden Mine Railroad, and the Hibernia Mine Railroad. Based on years ofexhaustive research, little of it published before, the book covers not onlythe railroad history but also that of the land and communities they served andthe colorful people who flourished in those communities.

Towns like Chester and Rockaway grew up around the railroads and mines thatsustained them, and this book is a record of their combined history andeventual decline.
