Pemberton and Hightstown Railroad
The Pemberton and Hightstown Railroad was a railroad in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
==History==
The Pemberton and Hightstown Railroad was chartered in 1864 and completed in 1868; it linked the towns of Pemberton and Hightstown, a total of .〔See Brinckmann, John. "Pemberton and Hightstown: A Chronicle of Railroading Through the Farm Belt of New Jersey" (1987, Brinkmann). This detailed history was privately printed but is sometimes available on Amazon or rare book sites. 〕 Most of the stock was purchased by the Camden and Amboy Railroad, and as such they were the owners of the line. The line was first leased to the Camden and Amboy in 1868, then the PRR through its acquisitions. In 1888 the Union Transportation Company was created to run the line, and the lease was terminated with the PRR, although they still owned the line. In 1915, the PRR merged the Pemberton and Hightstown Railroad into the Pennsylvania and Atlantic Railroad, a holdings company which included other local lines. By 1942, the UT was unable to operate the line, and contracted with the PRR to run the daily operations again. Eventually the PennCentral ran the line until 1976, until the PC merged into Conrail. The Pemberton and Hightstown Railroad, and the Union Transportation Company as operator, was not to be included in Conrail, and thus was independent and on their own. The line lasted until 1977, when due to financial problems, they ceased to exist. The Monmouth County Park System opened a section of the Union Transportation Trail on the right-of-way on September 25, 2010.〔
