Atlantic City Rail Terminal
The Atlantic City Rail Terminal is a train station in Atlantic City, New Jersey, located inside of the Atlantic City Convention Center. It has five tracks served by three platforms, and functions as the easternmost terminus of the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line to and from Philadelphia. The terminal was designed by TAT/SSVK, Architects and dedicated on May 22, 1989.
From 1989 to 1995, the station served as the terminus of Amtrak's Atlantic City Express. The line was also marketed as the "Gambler's Express"; in this period, Atlantic City was practically the only location that people could legally gamble at on the East Coast of the United States.
Later, the station was served by the Atlantic City Express Service from New York City to Atlantic City. The ACES service was operational from 2009 to March 9, 2012.
Atlantic City was once served by the old Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines Atlantic City station, which had become Atlantic City Municipal Bus Terminal, demolished in 1997. Between 1965 and 1981 a single-story, two-track station on the present site served PRSL trains until service ended in 1981.
