Long-A-Coming Depot, also known as the Berlin Railroad Station, is located in Berlin, Camden County, New Jersey, United States, between Taunton and Washington Avenues, abutting the New Jersey Transit Atlantic City Line tracks ("Gamblers' Express"). The station was built in 1856 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1997. The station is the oldest existing station in New Jersey.[3]
History
The Camden and Atlantic Railroad built a rail line in 1853 that ran parallel to the main road between Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Atlantic City, New Jersey. The station was built along the rail line in 1856. In 1867, the station name was changed to Berlin. The station was closed in the 1960s due to declining passenger numbers.
The station was restored in 1994 by the Berlin Historical Society. The station now serves as the meeting place for the Historical Society and several other area organizations.[4]
