New Book for Sale! The Great Race to the Jersey Shore

by Frank A. Wrabel, 2023


Atlantic City, New Jersey grew to be the most popular Atlantic Shore vacation destination of the Northeast after WWI. Both the Pennsylvania and the Phila. & Reading railroads fought hard to capture passengers. Buses and autos ate into profits in the 1930s, so the two adversaries merged to survive. This book is the grand story of growth and atrophy of South Jersey rail, to the present day.

Preserving the heritage of "The Standard Railroad of the World" for future generations


The Society's mission is to further scholarly learning and interest in the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) and its predecessor companies by stimulating and encouraging the collecting, researching, recording and preserving of all technical, historical and practical information concerning the PRR and to make this information available to interested persons.
