Pomeroy and Newark Railroad

The Pomeroy and Newark Railroad was the final step in a series of consolidations and a foreclosure.

This company's property was sold at foreclosure in August 1879 to two new companies, the Pomeroy and State Line Railroad (incorporated February 1880 in Pennsylvania) and the Newark and Delaware City Railroad (incorporated April 1880 in Delaware).

[2] These segments would remain to the end of Penn Central Transportation in 1976, except for a 1960s truncation from Chatham to Doe Run,[citation needed] but Conrail only acquired the short stub at Newark.

It did operate subsidized contract service on 3.7 miles (6.0 km) between Pomeroy and Buck Run,[3][4] but this was discontinued in about 1980.

[citation needed] Operation of the short piece at Newark, by then owned by Amtrak, went to the Norfolk Southern Railway in the 1999 breakup of Conrail.
