Camden and Woodbury Railroad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Camden and Woodbury Railroad & Transportation Company, which ran from Camden to Woodbury, New Jersey, was opened to the public on January 29, 1838. The first schedule showed trains leaving Woodbury at 7:30 AM, 1:30 PM, and 4:00 PM, and from Camden at 8:30 AM, 2:30 PM, and 5:00 PM. To accommodate a number of stage proprietors, an additional trip was made later in the day, leaving Woodbury at 10:00 AM and arriving at Camden at 11:30 AM with stops at Gloucester Point and at Kaighn's Point Roads. The rate of fare from Camden to Woodbury was twenty-five cents and from Camden to Westville it was fifteen cents. After numerous "ups and downs", the road was finally abandoned around 1850.
