Follow the route of a railroad whose sole purpose was to maintain the New Jersey railroad monopoly, known as the United Companies, but resulted in facing the Garden State Militia instead. Learn how the mighty Pennsylvania lost the struggle to prevent a rival railroad from entering the Philadelphia market place. Why were three locomotives captured in Hopewell in January 1876? What remains of this short-lived line today? Find out as we trace the remains of the Mercer & Somerset Railroad through scenic central Jersey. Portions of the line are seen from the air. View a postcard of the actual frog. Hear an eyewitness account of the Frog War action. After this story was briefly discussed in Rails Along The Delaware above, data about the M&S started pouring in. Three stations and several structures still exist. This program could surprise you as much as it did us. And, there are trains in this one, although not from the era discussed.
