Camden
Camden & Trenton
On December 31, 1904, the New York-Philadelphia Company was chartered. This new company, owned by Stern and Silverman, railway construction capitalists, purchased control of the Camden and Trenton Railway and the Trenton and New Brunswick Railroad early in 1905  In February 1906, seven double-truck closed cars were ordered from the John Stephenson Company, Elizabeth, New Jersey. The new cars, 45 feet, 4 inches in length, were equipped with smoking compartments and were placed in service in June. The arrival of the new cars permitted the retirement of the "Duplex" convertibles, which apparently had not been entirely satisfactory in winter service.
