in September 1965 The
Pennsylvania Railroad opened
Broadway station on the site on October 8, 1908. It was built as part of the elevation of the Pennsylvania's
line through downtown
Camden. It replaced a station one block east at Haddon Avenue. The
West Jersey and Seashore Railroad also used the station. With the creation of the joint
Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines in 1933, former
Atlantic City Railroad services also began stopping at Broadway. Broadway was selected as the eastern terminus of the
Bridge Line, a rapid transit line linking Camden with
Philadelphia. New underground platforms were built beneath the existing station. Service began on June 7, 1936. Provision was made in the tunnel for future expansion to the east. The Pennsylvania Railroad abandoned its
ferry service between Philadelphia and Camden on March 31, 1952, and Broadway became the new western terminus of its Camden services. Broadway was enlarged in response, including the addition of an escalator to its elevated platforms. The development of the
PATCO Speedline in the mid-1960s resulted in dramatic changes to the railroad lines around Broadway. The Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines abandoned its main line between Camden and West Haddonfield on January 16, 1966; Atlantic City trains bypassed Camden and terminated at
30th Street Station in Philadelphia. Services on the Pennsylvania's
Pemberton Branch and the PRSL's
Millville Branch remained until October 3, when they were shifted to a new station on the Amboy Branch at 12th and Federal. The Bridge Line was temporarily closed on December 28, 1968 for conversion into the
PATCO Speedline. The Lindenwold–City Hall segment, including Broadway, reopened on January 4, 1969. The surface-level bus transfer center opened on May 17, 1989 as Camden Transportation Center and was renamed in 1994 for
Walter Rand, a former
New Jersey State Senator, who specialized in transportation issues while serving in both houses of the
New Jersey Legislature. River Line service began on March 15, 2004. The station is the planned northern terminus of the
Glassboro–Camden Line, an
diesel multiple unit (DMU)
light rail system projected for completion in 2028. In October 2021, NJ Transit announced plans to replace the facility with a new one, awarding a contract to conduct conceptual design, preliminary and final engineering and construction assistance services to
HNTB. == Bus service ==
