Complete ride on NJT #4632 from Atlantic City-Philadelphia. 9/1/22

Thanks for posting; I've also enjoyed your SEPTA and LIRR trips. Back in 1960 I took the PRSL to Wildwood from 30th Street. On the way down it was in a coach consist pulled by a Baldwin AS-16 road Switcher; on the return it was in an RDC. This did end in 1969 when PATCO was built, when it became a 2-seat shuttle ride from Lindenwold to the shore points.......

Such a beautiful video! I’ve always heard this train go by since my childhood! It’s so heartwarming to see the full ride of the Atlantic City line! I just filmed a train arriving and departing from the Atco station the other day. However, I have never been on these trains.

I lived in Hamilton and used to take the train frequently. Brings back great memories; thanks for posting!

A great video of the Atlantic City line of NJ Transit. I used to live in Elwood, NJ, remember the PRSL trains, various stations it served. Taking the train from Philadelphia to Atlantic City & black to Philadelphia is a better way of traveling between the 2 cities, the same with going to & from, Boston, New York City,Newark,NJ, Baltimore, Washington, DC, Richmond, Newport News & Norfolk, VA. It beats driving on the NorthSouth Freeway(Parking Lot), Atlantic City Expressway, U.S.30(White Horse Pike),NJ 168,NJ42,U.S.322/40(Black Horse Pike) as those roads are crowded during rush hour, traffic to Atlantic City, Brigantine,Margate & other South Jersey Shore towns/resorts on Fridays, Sundays,Holiday weekends.

Fantastic footage sir!! Nice to see the Atlantic City Line gaining more coverage for its uniqueness.

F.Y.I. Pomo was for Pomona. Lica {pronounced like you 'lick' an ice cream cone} is for the Mullica River. Atco is for the beginning of Atlantic County. I think Fish was named after an old engineer, if my poor old memory recalls correctly. I knew that thirty-five years ago....lol.... I've been trying to get the sidings lengthened and joined up so there would be more double track. The right-of-way is wide enough for double track because it once was double track when it was P-RSL. When I got the Atlantic City Rail Line built, after rail service had ceased {I got the State of New Jersey to buy the dormant line for a bargain price from Conrail and then later I got Amtrak to rebuild it} because single track was all we could afford. I was told to accept that or nothing. I accepted it. If I had a way to communicate with you, I could send you an outline of the full story and my involvement. At our next meeting, on Sept. 8th, I'll mention again the dirty window issue on the ACRL cars. They told me the cleaning solution being used is scratching and fogging the windows. They said the issue was being addressed.

The AC line is a very underrated line to railfan. Go back 50-60 years when it was run by PRSL, you had all sorts of equipment in Atlantic City. RDC's, passenger trains, freight trains. Back in the late 80's/early 90's Trop World (Tropicana) had a small amusement park inside. One of the rides was an old time Atlantic City theme where you sat in a rolling chair. Well one of the beginning scenes was of being a "Shoobie" on the train ride down originally from Camden then to Philadelphia on a PRSL train. I personally wish NJ Transit would somehow get a line rebuilt to Cape May. While you were in Atlantic City railfanning, I was in your neck of the woods up in Northport visiting family and going to Citi Field to watch the Dodgers play the Mets. At the 1:03:53 mark, you can see the shopping center built at the old Cherry Hill Park. Famous by the Billy Joe Royal song... About 15 minutes away where 38 and 130 meet, is a very good steak place called "The Pub". Still cook steaks on an open hearth grill, known for their Caesar salad. Used to have 2 places in Philly one of which was called the"Pub Tiki" and known for it's Hawaiian and Asian/Islander food.

The Commodore Barry Bridge crosses the Delaware at Chester, PA, well south of where you are and looking out the north side of the train.

I remember my first ride on that line as a young child in the '40s. We road the PRR from Newark to Philly, took a ferry over the Delaware River which smelled badly, and boarded the PRSL to Egg Harbor City.

The Betsy Ross Bridge bears a striking resemblance to the one that collapsed in Minneapolis.

I'm shocked there is a dual-mode sitting on the other track at AC . Glad to see other equipment down that end.

Nice to see this. I used to ride this line back late 90s from Atco to AC when I worked in the casino

Yes that's the Tacony/Palmyra Bridge in the distance.

Great footage. Brings back memories Thanks Tim💙😀

mesmerizing through the trees, but beautiful scenery in the open, nice ride 👍

Excellent video and commentary!

I'm always happy to see your videos sir!

There’s a DP down there, this past week.

Your really knocking out the videos. I think it's great 👍

This vid (and others too) reinforce my renaming of my former hometown (Philadelphia) as "filthy-delphia".
