The Philadelphia and Atlantic City Railway, later known as the Philadelphia and Atlantic City Railroad, was a railway company in the United States. It was incorporated in 1876 as a direct competitor to the Camden and Atlantic Railroad. It completed a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge line between Camden, New Jersey, and Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1877. The company was financially troubled and taken over by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad in 1883. The reorganized company was consolidated with four other companies in 1889 to form the Atlantic City Railroad.
