NJ Transit Adding Atlantic City Line

Earlier this week, the New Jersey Transit announced the authorization of a contract which will create the first direct linking of its two South Jersey rail services. The Pennsauken Transit Center will now link the River Line rail system to the Atlantic City Rail Line. The contract permits the construction of a 200-foot platform with a 60-foot canopy for all riders who board the River Line trains. It also allows for updates to security, ticket vending machines, drainage and other maintainence services, and lighting. On the Atlantic City side of things, a pair of 300-foot-long platforms will be build on both sides of the Atlantic City tracks, stairs, and two elevators to provide accessibility for disabled riders.

In addition to the additional access to rail services this will provide, the station will also provide access to the NJ Transit bus service.

Work on the project is expected to begin this fall and be completed by the end of 2012.

Atlantic City Voted Top American Boardwalk City

Atlantic City’s boardwalk has had a long and turbulent history, one filled with ups and downs. Right now though, things are looking up. Recently, Forbes Traveler named Atlantic City’s boardwalk number one in the United States.

The boardwalk of today features a number of improvements and advancements since its original construction in 1870. Then again, when the boardwalk was originally built, its only purpose was to help limit the amount of sand dragged in by visitors coming from beachside. The original boardwalk eventually spanned 7 miles along the coast from Atlantic City to Longport, making it the longest in the world. In the Hurricane of 1944 much of this was destroyed. Now the Atlantic City boardwalk is an impressive 5.75 miles long, still longer than any other boardwalk on the planet. The construction has also changed to make use of steel reinforcements which help to ensure that this incarnation of the boardwalk isn’t going anywhere.

But what about it makes the Atlantic City boardwalk so attractive to potential visitors? Simply, everything! If you have ever been to Atlantic City you are aware of the fact that the boardwalk is host to many shops, restaurants, attractions for people of all ages, and a great atmosphere. If you’re in the mood for something strange or peculiar, you can swing by the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum. Follow that up by checking out the Pier Shops at Caesar’s, or maybe a trip down to the Steel Pier, home to 24 amusement rides including a custom built double-decker carousel which features hand painted artwork of scenes from Atlantic City’s past. It also doesn’t hurt that most of the city’s casinos are completely accessible via the boardwalk, including the Showboat, Taj Mahal, and Caesar’s.

Needless to say, the Atlantic City boardwalk is an American icon with a rich past and an even richer future. When the time comes for you to book your trip to Atlantic City be sure to treat yourself and not cheat yourself, take a stroll on the boardwalk. It’s a vacation destination in and of itself, and it’s better than any other in America!
