The Ogden Mine Railroad was chartered in 1864 to provide a route from the mines at Edison to a connection with the Morris & Essex Railroad and the Morris Canal. Construction began in 1865 and connected to the M&E in 1867. The total length as constructed was 10 miles.
The OMRR was built as a standard gauge steam railroad. The original steam locomotives were 0-6-0s and were used to first haul iron to the Morris Canal and then to its connection with the DL&W.
The OMR was the target in a bidding war between the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad and the Central New Jersey Railroad. Finally, in 1881, the CNJ took over the railroad via a common 999 year lease.
