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.


376 pages, over 370 illustrations, many in color. Hardbound, Smyth sewn.
