Baltusrol and Kenilworth Rail Project Spurs Jersey Growth
In December 2904 Mr. Manahan died and by early 1905 New York financiers formed Rahway Valley Railroad to connect Summit to the city. They acquired Baltusrol land near Summit and began work, moving dirt for the Pennsylvania Railroad project from Kenilworth. A hill of 89 feet and fourteen acres and another 65-foot hill of six acres were mined to facilitate freight yards in Jersey City and the Harrison tunnel. Stone quarries are planned along the route. Funeral notes for William Van Pelt report services at Lindewnville Methodist Church with Rev. Ray A. officiating.
