PRSL M-405 "Reserve RDC"         
Melancholy look at the Atlantic City station of the former Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Lines. An ex PC SW1 waits with an RDC. The depot (out of frame) was built in 1964 when the lead to Union Station was cut off by the Atlantic City Expressway. At this point in time (1977) service consisted of three AM trips to Lindenwold and three PM trips back to AC. The Budd car was a reserve that Conrail kept in AC. Today, the AC Convention Center and new NJT station occupy this location.

Dave Korhammer General From 1969 until passenger service ended June 1982, the ex-PRSL Budds were also serviced here - note the replacement truck sitting on the middle track. The M-405 is among the many ex-PRSL Budd cars on the Cape May Seashore Lines at Tuckahoe, NJ. :) 7/12/2014 3:57:42 PM
