South Jersey Light Rail Project Advances Written by Marybeth Luczak, Executive Editor The proposed 18-mile Glassboro-Camden Line would operate diesel light rail vehicles—like those found on New Jersey Transit’s River LINE—along Conrail track. (Rendering from GCL, Twitter.) An Environmental Impact Study (EIS) for an 18-mile Glassboro-Camden light rail line has been completed for submission to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The proposal would restore passenger service along an existing Conrail line between Gloucester and Camden counties, both in New Jersey’s Philadelphia suburbs. Diesel light rail vehicles (DLRVs)—similar to those running on New Jersey Transit’s River LINE—would carry riders between 14 stations (see map below). Transfers would be available at the Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden. A transfer to the PATCO (Port Authority Transit Corp.) Speedline would provide connections to Philadelphia and Camden County, as well as to Atlantic City via NJ Transit, and a transfer to the River LINE would provide connections to Trenton, N.J., and to New York City via the Northeast Corridor.
