Company History: The Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines was a railroad that operated in southern New Jersey in the 20th century. It was created in 1933 as a joint operation between the Pennsylvania and Reading railroads. The PRSL, as it was also known, served the popular tourism and beach destinations west and south of Philadelphia in New Jersey reaching such ocean-side towns as Atlantic City, Ocean City, and Cape May. Originally, the two railroads competed fiercely for the lucrative passenger traffic and the high demand brought about by folks wishing to vacation at the beach. Today, much of what was originally the PRSL remains in operation by a number of entities including New Jersey Transit, Conrail Shared Assets, Cape May Seashore Lines, SMS Rail Service, PATCO Speedline, Southern Railroad of New Jersey, and Winchester & Western.
