When the brochure pictured below was issued in 1938, the Central Railroad Company of New Jersey's steamboat service to Atlantic Highlands with a direct connection to trains operating via the CNJ's Seashore Branch still had a few years left. Boats in service at this time were the "Monmouth" and "Sandy Hook." The railroad's presence in the borough was significant. Particularly impressive was the stub end terminal situated on the pier which facilitated the transfer of passengers between train and ship. Regrettably, as with so many former sites once testimony to railroading's greatness, today's casual observer wouldn't have a clue any of this ever existed; however, for those who know, telltale signs are still there.
