Title: Camden to Glassboro NJ light rail plan
Post by: WMAveteran on July 21, 2009, 11:00:51 PM
A friend who lives in the Philadelphia area sent me an undated newspaper clip from "phillynews" that described Governor Corzine's plan to "restore rail service between Camden and Glassboro . . ."  "That plan calls for diesel light-rail trains to run 18 miles alongside an existing Conrail freight line to serve Glassboro, Pitman, Mantua, Wenonah, Woodbury, Deptford, West Deptford, Westville, Bellmawr, Brooklawn, and Glocester City.  The line would connect to PATCO and River Line trains at the Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden, . . ."  "The rail line to Glassboro is expected to cost about $1.3 billion."
