Ok, I got it

The Central Railroad of New Jersey began in the early 1800’s as two small railroads; Elizabethtown and Somerville Railroad and the Somerville and Easton Railroad. The CNJ was born when the two railroads consolidated. It remained a New Jersey freight and passenger line until 1866 when it entered Pennsylvania with a lease with the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad. After 1888, the CNJ added a few more miles of track into Pennsylvania and connected with the Reading Railroad offering the residents of Scranton the most direct route into Philadelphia. By 1901, the Reading Railroad purchased controlling interest the CNJ. The Pennsylvania Division was abandoned at the end of 1972 and the parallel Lehigh Valley Railroad picked up much of it and integrated it into its own operation. This put an end to CNJ's official Divisional structure. In 1976, it was consolidated into the Conrail system and trackage into the Scranton area was abandoned.
