===Alignment=== {{main|Amboy Branch|Bordentown Branch}} The River Line was constructed on what originally was the [[Amboy Branch|Camden-Bordentown]] section and the [[Bordentown Branch]] of the [[Camden and Amboy Railroad]] (C&A). The lines ran under the C&A name between 1830 and 1871, when the line was absorbed into the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]]. Ownership proceeded under [[Penn Central]] after 1968, and [[Conrail]] from 1976 to June 1, 1999, but the original passenger service had been abandoned in 1963.<ref>Chen, David W. [https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C00E1D81639F93BA15757C0A960958260 " ROAD AND RAIL;Trolley Urged for a Limping Old Freight Line"], ''[[The New York Times]]'', April 28, 1996. Accessed October 23, 2007. "In 1963, passenger service ended, and as factories moved to the outer-ring suburbs or closed (Roebling in 1974), freight service decreased to only a few times a day."</ref>
