The Camden & Amboy Railroad was charted in New Jersey in 1830 by Colonel John Stevens. The company purchased the John Bull, one of the first successful locomotives in North America, from Robert Stephenson and Company of Newcastle upon Tyne, 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, and portions became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line.
