Feds not on board new N.J. rail line

 Philadelphia Inquirer | 06/10/2009.

A planned commuter rail line from Camden to Glassboro won't qualify for federal transit funds, leaving state taxpayers with the full $1.3 billion bill. But Delaware River Port Authority officials said Wednesday the project is South Jersey's top transportation priority and the state is committed to seeing the line is built.

The plan calls for diesel light-rail trains to run 18 miles alongside an existing Conrail freight line to serve Glassboro, Pitman, Mantua, Wenonah, Woodbury, Deptford, West Deptford, Westville, Bellmawr, Brooklawn, Gloucester City and Camden.
