Atlantic City Line

Lindenwold station is an NJ Transit train station in Lindenwold, New Jersey on the Atlantic City Line. Eastbound service is offered to Atlantic City and Westbound service is offered to Philadelphia. The station is also the first station of the PATCO Speedline which also offers service to Philadelphia, Camden, and Haddonfield. PATCO's headquarters and maintenance yard are located adjacent to the station. Bus connections are available at the station. This station replaced the old nearby Kirkwood Station of the former Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Lines on February 15, 1969.

The station is located near the intersection of U.S. Route 30 and White Horse Road. Many of the main access points to the station and some of the (somewhat large) parking areas are located in neighboring Stratford. The PATCO maintenance facility is located in neighboring Voorhees.

The station has a small building with PATCO ticket machines, an old PATCO Ticket Office (closed), and an underpass to the NJT Platform underneath. It also once served Amtrak's Atlantic City Express trains.[3]

NJ Transit has constructed a new enclosed waiting room on the lower NJT platform.[4]
