History

July 28, 2022, marks 153 years since the devastating Budds Creek railroad disaster in Montgomery County, Tennessee, along the Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville Railroad.

Elizabeth, New Jersey, was an important crossing point for railroads. The New Jersey Rail Road extended its line to Elizabeth, first known as Elizabethtown, in 1835.

“The Terminus will be a good location for one tavern, a blacksmith shop, a grocery store, and nothing else.”
