Bring South Jersey rail history into everyday wear with this Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines cotton polo shirt. The company joined the region’s competing rail traditions when it began operating in 1933, linking the story of Camden, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and shore-bound travel. Its history recalls vacation-era rail service as well as the changing fortunes of passenger trains. A thoughtful choice for rail enthusiasts, local-history fans, and anyone who remembers the journey to the Jersey Shore.
Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines (P-RSL) operated in Southern New Jersey from 1933 until Conrail took it over in 1976. Its origins lay in two competing railroads: the Pennsylvania Railroad-owned West Jersey and Seashore Railroad and the Reading Company subsidiary Atlantic City Railroad. On March 4, 1931, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities ordered the companies to combine their southern New Jersey lines. The agreement gave the Pennsylvania Railroad a two-thirds ownership share and the Reading Company one-third. On July 15, 1933, the West Jersey and Seashore was leased by the Atlantic City Railroad and renamed Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. The predecessor lines linked Camden, and by ferry Philadelphia, with Atlantic City and other South Jersey shore destinations. Their competition peaked in the 1920s, when they promoted fast service to vacationers. After World War II, growing automobile use, the Atlantic City Expressway, and air travel reduced rail use. By the late 1960s, the remaining former Camden–Atlantic City Main Line operated as a commuter service. Although P-RSL itself did not enter bankruptcy, both owners later did: Penn Central, successor to the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the Reading Company. Conrail assumed P-RSL operations on April 1, 1976.
