JP Rail, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation doing business as SRNJ, operates tracks in the Winslow area that originally belonged to the
New Jersey Southern Railroad, and which were later acquired by the
Central Railroad of New Jersey (in the 1880s) and subsequently
Conrail (1976) and the
New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT; 1984). SRNJ acquired operating rights to the Winslow-Vineland route, known as the Winslow Branch, from
The Shore Fast Line, Inc. (SFLR) in 1991. (SFLR, a freight carrier, is not to be confused with the
Shore Fast Line, an
interurban passenger railroad that was operated by the
Atlantic City and Shore Railroad from 1907 to 1948.) In the 1991 transaction SRNJ also obtained rights from SFLR to operate freight on of the
Atlantic City Line owned by
New Jersey Transit, from Winslow to Pleasantville; and took ownership of several short sections of connecting branch lines and junctions. SRNJ contracted with the county in 1995 to take over operations on the route (plus a one-mile spur in Salem) from the West Jersey Railroad Co. which was awarded the initial contract by the county in 1988. Between 2009 and 2012
U.S. Rail Corporation operated the Salem line. In 2012 the county reassigned the contract to SRNJ, which ended in 2022. ==Operations==
