As far as I can tell, the Philadelphia & Trenton RR was only incorporated in Pennsylvania, and Poor's manuals clearly show that it ended at the state line.
According to http://www.prrths.com/Downloads/PRR1835.pdf the Delaware was crossed in 1837, with the railroad almost but not quite connecting to the Camden & Amboy RR Trenton Branch. In 1839 the connection to the Camden & Amboy was built.
I have a few questions:
How did the P&T get from the Delaware River to the original Trenton depot at Hanover St and Broad St?
Who built the P&T in Trenton? As far as I can tell, the P&T always officially ended at the state line; was a separate P&T chartered in New Jersey and later consolidated into the C&A?
Here's a map of the section I'm asking about:
