West Jersey Chapter’s May virtual membership meeting was held on Monday, May 23. WJC member Pierre Lacombe presented a program on the building of the Camden & Amboy Railroad between South Amboy and Bordentown. It has been popularly held that the stone sleepers used to support the rails were quarried at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York. A retired professional geologist, Pierre debunks this notion through a thorough analysis of the sleepers remaining along the line. Yes, some of the stones were quarried at Sing Sing, but most of the stones were quarried at locations within 20 miles of the railroad.
