Lindenwold station is an intermodal transit hub and park and ride in the borough of Lindenwold, Camden County, New Jersey. Located at the intersection of Berlin Road (County Route 702) and White Horse Road West (County Route 673) just north of the White Horse Pike (U.S. Route 30), the station services trains of the PATCO Speedline (operated by the Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA)) and New Jersey Transit's Atlantic City Line. The station also serves three separate New Jersey Transit bus routes and Amtrak Thruway bus services connected to Amtrak's long-distance train services.
Lindenwold station serves as the eastern terminus of PATCO, with the maintenance yard located to the east of the station platform. All trains from there head west toward 15–16th & Locust station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The PATCO platform consists of a single island platform to service trains. The Atlantic City Line platform is a single side platform with shelter servicing one track against the retaining wall of the PATCO platform. All Atlantic City Line trains operate from 30th Street Station in Philadelphia to the Atlantic City Rail Terminal in the eponymous Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Located at the site of the former Kirkwood station of the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines (PRSL), the PATCO station opened on January 4, 1969. As part of the station opening, PRSL service was truncated from Philadelphia to the new station at Lindenwold, necessitating a transfer to PATCO to reach Philadelphia. Service on the line would be discontinued on June 30, 1982. The station remained a PATCO only facility until May 23, 1989, when Amtrak began operating the Atlantic City Express from Penn Station in New York City to Atlantic City. NJ Transit began operation of a new commuter line, the Atlantic City Line, on September 17, 1989, still requiring a transfer at Lindenwold to reach Philadelphia. NJ Transit opened a new station at Cherry Hill on July 2, 1994, eliminating Amtrak service at Lindenwold. Amtrak discontinued the service nine months later and all NJ Transit trains were extended to 30th Street Station.
