Pomeroy and Newark Railroad

The Pomeroy and Newark Railroad was a railroad company that operated in the US states of Pennsylvania and Delaware from 1881 to 1917. It ran from Pomeroy, Pennsylvania, on the Pennsylvania Railroad's Main Line, south to Newark, Delaware. At Porter, Delaware it connected to the previously existing Delaware Railroad (DRC). It was formed by the merger of the Pomeroy and State Line Railroad and the Newark and Delaware City Railroad in 1881. It became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad system, and in December 1917 the line was sold to the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington Railroad, Pennsylvania subsidiary and successor to the PW&B.

The rail that made up the line was abandoned, but the line from Newark to the Delaware Bay remains in service.
