Two and a half centuries of iron mining and manufacturing left an indelible mark on the land and people of northern New Jersey. This detailed history tells the story of the small railroads that grew up with the industry, expanded and eventually declined, including the Chester Railroad, the Mount Hope Mineral Railroad, the Wharton & Northern Railroad, the Ferromonte Railroad, the Ogden Mine Railroad, and the Hibernia Mine Railroad.  Based on years of exhaustive research, little of it published before, the book covers not only the railroad history but also that of the land and communities they served and the colorful people who flourished in those communities. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. With maps, bibliography and indexes. 143 pages.
