Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homes on the Central Railroad of New Jersey for New York Business Men: A Description of the Region Traversed by the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and Its Branches and Connections From New York to Mauch Chunk, Embracing a Statement of the Inducements and Conveniences Held Out Conjointly by the Railroad Company and Property Bedloes and Ellis Islands, and about them the rippling waters Of the bay dotted with every variety of craft. A glorious spectacle this on a summer morning, before the burden and heat Of the torrid day have begun. Or, if we turn about, and glance up-stream, the scene is none the less ih spiring. There are the Cunard Docks, and above them those Of the White Star Line. What a fleet Of ferry boats, alive with people, are hurrying cityward. In the distance we can see the Bremen and Hamburg Steamers, beyond them again the Stevens Castle and Weehawken, and in the mist above, may be discerned the bold outlines of the Palisades. But we have scarcely begun to enjoy the exhilarating scenery, when again the gong sounds, our speed slackens and we are in the ferry slip at Jersey City. As we land, the depot is just before us, and see, there is the train in waiting, the loco motive at its head, with steam up and impatient for a start. This way for Elizabeth, cries the brakeman. All aboard shouts the conductor, and in another moment we are off. Nice comfortable cars these, and then they start so promptly there is not a moment's delay. N ow, we are whiz zing away over a wilderness of tracks, and presently come in sight of the bay again, along the western shore of which lie the next few miles of our journey.
