NJ Transit is operating the service. The service will actually cross the river into Pennsylvania and get as far south as North Philadelphia before crossing over the Delair Bridge on to the same set of rails used to operate the Atlantic City Line. The former Central Railroad of New Jersey would have provied a shorter route for the service, however the track has been removed along portions of the right-of-way.
