Transport: Atlantic City Dream

Longtime dream of Atlantic City’s Mayor Harry Bacharach has been a new railroad station for “America’s Playground.” Last week, on his 61st birthday, Mayor Bacharach’s dream came true. To the dedication exercises of the resort’s new $250,000 Union Station went Governor Arthur Harry Moore, Vice President Martin Withington Clement of Pennsylvania Railroad and many a cheering Atlantic Citizen. The new station has eight loading platforms three blocks long, can handle 10,000 visitors at once. Eliminated are two old railroad stations, twelve grade crossings.
