Winslow Junction was an extremely busy rail town. The junction was the intersection of the CNJ's Southern Division Main Line with two PRSL lines, one for Atlantic City and the other line for Cape May. The CNJ's Blue Comet used this junction to access PRSL rails on its way into Atlantic City. Today, Winslow Junction is the home of the Southern Railroad of New Jersey and sees NJT trains pass through on its Atlantic City Line and Conrail Shared Asset trains on its Beesley Point Secondary Line. The pictures from this page represents my visit to Winslow on August 2, 2001. (Special thanks go to Bill & Ben of the SRNJ for the information they shared.)
