Interurban electric transit expands in southern New Jersey

The first high speed interurban electric system in the southern part of New Jersey expands across Camden and three counties. It aims to compete with steam railroads by running parallel routes with a projected 20 to 28 mile per hour average speed, supported by a $800000 plus investment in construction and new tracks. The plan envisions a broader network beyond current lines, with substantial modernization and extension in the coming years to serve residential counties and boost profitability. The effort emphasizes a rapid, efficient commuter service bridging cities like Clementon and surrounding districts, under new management.

Traffic network expansion and social issues in early 20th century Philadelphia suburbs

A lengthy description outlines the Public Service trolley system linking Philadelphia area suburbs like Moorestown and Camden. It covers extended routes, double tracking plans, and expensive infrastructure including a concrete lift bridge over Cooper Creek. The piece also intertwines commentary on mental health, observing a shift from shock to seeking medical solutions, and critiques the era’s drug treatments.
