Remembering the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines
FREIGHT CARS WITH A LOCAL CONNECTION

In May of 2020, an awesome maroon lighted caboose was added, featuring white PRSL lettering, a red PRSL logo and bright yellow handrails on the front and rear of the car.
A unique piece added in 2022 was a Flatcar with PRSL lettering and red logo, carrying a trailer with markings “PHILADELPHIA OVERNIGHT to WILDWOOD”. The trailer also is designated “Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines” with the PRSL red logo.
Recently, a stunning blue gondola has been added to the local South Jersey lineup; however, unlike previous items, this car does not have PRSL markings, but rather those of the Wildwood & Delaware Bay Short Line, a small local rail service.
Future additions to the Holly Beach Train Depot series are being planned now. Next up is a PRSL “Cape May Sand Co.” Sand Hopper to be delivered in mid 2024.
A detailed history of the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines can be found on Wikipedia.
