Conrail in South Jersey

Conrail's presence in South Jersey was made up of a network of Secondaries and Running Tracks (Conrail's terms for branchlines) that provided quite a brisk business. Large industries included power generating stations at the end of the Beesley's Point Secondary, near Atlantic City, and many chemical plants along the Penns Grove Secondary, which paralleled the Delaware River.
