Atlantic City Line
The
Atlantic City Line
(
ACL
) is a rail line operated by
New Jersey Transit
(NJT) in the United States between
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
and
Atlantic City, New Jersey
, operating along the corridor of the
White Horse Pike
. It runs over trackage that was controlled by both the
Pennsylvania Railroad
(PRR) and the
Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines
. It shares trackage with
SEPTA
and
Amtrak
on the
Northeast Corridor
(NEC) until it crosses the
Delaware River
on its own
Delair Bridge
into
New Jersey
. The Atlantic City Line also shares the
right-of-way
with the
PATCO Speedline
between
Haddonfield
and
Lindenwold, New Jersey
. There are 14 departures each day in each direction.
Conrail
also uses short sections of the line for freight movements (which are segregated), including the NEC-Delair Bridge section to its main freight yard in
Camden, New Jersey
. Unlike all other NJT railway lines, the Atlantic City line does not have traditional rush hour service. The Atlantic City line is colored dark blue on New Jersey Transit's system maps, and the line's symbol is a
lighthouse
.
