Map of the Newark and Roselle Railway
The Newark and Roselle Railway was incorporated on Aug 28, 1889 by the
Lehigh Valley Railroad (LVRR) to advance tracks from the terminus of the
Roselle and South Plainfield Railway at
Roselle, New Jersey to Pennsylvania Avenue in
Newark . It formed part of the route connecting the LVRR's
Easton and Amboy Railroad at
South Plainfield to the
Jersey City terminal.
Initially, the Roselle and South Plainfield Railroad had connected with the
Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ) at Roselle, and LVRR trains had proceeded to Jersey City over the CNJ.
In 1891 the LVRR consolidated the railroads along the Jersey City route into the
Lehigh Valley Terminal Railway . Along with the Newark and Roselle, the other consolidated companies were the
Roselle and South Plainfield Railway , the
Newark and Passaic Railway , the
Newark Railway , the
Jersey City, Newark, and Western Railway , the
Jersey City Terminal Railway , and the
Edgewater Railway .
