Freight (Car Float): (Satellite, the land has been repurposed, and the shore reconfigured.)

| Dennis DeBruler commented on John's comment And it appears to be Kaighn Point. And a little further south was a car float operation. 1949 Camden and Philadelphia Quad @ 24,000 |

| Warren Avis posted Reading Company's Camden NJ Terminal for the Atlantic City Railroad subsidiary. Trains would leave here for Atlantic City, Ocean City, Stone Harbor, The Wildwoods, Cape May , Glassboro or Grenloch. Terminal opened in 1924 then closed in 1933. Today the area is an industrial wasteland. Brian Alnutt: Never saw this view before! For those unaware, in 1933 RDG and PRR lines in S Jersey were combined into PRSL, and lots of redundant mileage & property like this station was abandoned. James McKee Ridgway Jr.: The Reading was not happy that PRSL chose not to use this almost new facility. Some of the dock remnants lasted into the 2000s… Chris Karr: Where were the ferries going to and from? Jim Boylan: Chris Karr Chestnut St. and South St. in Philadelphia. Market St. was for Pennsylvania RR. (Camden & Amboy) ferries to Federal St. |

| Steven Alexis Esenman commented on Warren's post Kaighn's Point in Camden. Built for the Atlantic City Railroad, this replaced an earlier station also built by the ACRR It also served as the Reading's east bank station for service to locations like Atlantic City, the Wildwoods, and Cape May. After less than 15 years of service Trenton ordered the Atlantic City Railroad combined with its rival, the PRR-controlled West Jersey and Seashore Railroad, and with duplicate terminals, the newly-formed PRSL had to choose between continuing operations at Kaighn's Point or the WJ&S' Federal Street. It chose Federal Street. |
