Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad

In 1836, the Camden and Amboy Railroad began to operate the P&T, after obtaining a controlling stock interest.

However, attempts to buy out and demolish buildings in the right-of-way led to riots, and the P&T was forced to end at Kensington.

Over the Delaware River, the current alignment is southeast of the original one, which used the Trenton Free Bridge.

It was joined to the Camden and Amboy Railroad's Trenton Branch by a bridge across the Delaware and Raritan Canal by 1836; it then used the station on the east side of the canal, just south of State Street, until the C&A Trenton Branch was realigned around 1865 and the current station was built.

North of Frankford Junction in Philadelphia, where the Connecting Railway joined, the line is part of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor.
