![]() ![]() The path to NJ Transit's River Line spanned at least three decades and over multiple planning agencies. ![]() Ownership proceeded under Penn Central (1968) and Conrail (1976) until June 1, 1999, but the original passenger service had been abandoned in 1963. The lines ran under the C&A name between 18, when the line was absorbed into the Pennsylvania Railroad. The River Line was constructed on what originally was the Camden- Bordentown section and the Bordentown-Trenton Branch of the Camden & Amboy Railroad (C&A). During this time, there were 2,869,707 unlinked passenger trips. The River Line is currently exceeding final ridership estimates of 5,500 passengers per day, with an average of 9,014 weekday, 5,922 Saturday, and 4,708 Sunday average passenger trips as of the end of fiscal year 2014. Now that the project is in its operational phase, Bombardier is the only member of SNJRG. The line is operated for New Jersey Transit by the Southern New Jersey Rail Group (SNJRG), which originally included Bechtel Group and Bombardier. Its northern terminus is adjacent to the Trenton Transit Center. The River Line stops at the PATCO Speedline's Broadway station ( Walter Rand Transportation Center) and the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line's Pennsauken Transit Center, providing connections to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is so named because its route between the two cities is parallel to the Delaware River. The River Line (stylized as River LINE) is a hybrid rail (light rail with some features similar to commuter rail) line in southern New Jersey that connects the cities of Camden and Trenton, New Jersey's capital.
