I've lived in South Jersey for 50 years. In that time, this station was running, then closed, then renovated & re-opened, then closed again.

It’s tragic that we had the technology so long ago, but it became irrelevant and almost forgotten in this country.

PATCO seems to me a weird suburban - subway hybrid like a commuter rail grafted onto an abandoned subway line that got reactivated
@skydiamond8705Ай бұрын
maybe but it an Express metro for the suburban the crazy thing about is 3 main key in the 30s plan it was going be the chestnut street subway along side the bridge line that didn't happen so in 60s we where testing out tech on rail so it a fast metro built to heavy rail standard it knock out the commuter rail system in Camden so it running at 20 percent of what it spouse to be a bigger system in south jersey killed by the people

$26 million. If it doesn't pan out, see if PATCO defacto closes it by limiting hours as with 9-10 Locust and City Hall Camden, plus close other stops they don't like overnight. Coming up is PATCO'S 55th anniversary, February 15th. Latest price tag, $30 mln.
