On Saturday, August 9, two more sections of track were put into place, representing two more examples of early Camden & Amboy Railroad track construction. The second section represents the method used on certain bridges. Because horses were used as early motive power, bridges were decked with planks to give the horses a smooth pathway, and the rails were spiked to the planks. The third section, rails mounted on cross ties, was used on a short section of track when the supply of stone sleepers ran out and the railroad had to be finished.The C&A tried wooden ties, and found out they worked better than stone sleepers.
