Biographical History

The Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines was created in 1933 by the consolidations of the railroad lines of the Atlantic City Railroad Company, a part of the Reading Company system, and those of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad Company, a part of the Pennsylvania System. In the 19th century, both railroads had built parallel and competing lines between Camden, opposite Philadelphia, and the seaside resorts of southern New Jersey. The consolidation permitted the elimination of redundant routes and services in a period when traffic was being lost to cars and buses. The Atlantic City Railroad Company was renamed Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines and leased the property of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad. The latter maintained its independent corporate existence until the 1980s. The Pennsylvania appointed the operating officials of the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines, while the Reading appointed the corporate secretary.
