History

The station site was home to the Pennsylvania Railroad's station of Beverly.[1] Service between Trenton and Camden ended on June 28, 1963.[2]

The station opened on March 15, 2004.[3] Southbound service from the station is available to Camden, New Jersey. Northbound service is available to the Trenton Rail Station with connections to New Jersey Transit trains to New York City, SEPTA trains to Philadelphia, and Amtrak trains. Transfer to the PATCO Speedline is available at the Walter Rand Transportation Center.[citation needed]

Although located in the City of Beverly, the station also serves the Township of Edgewater Park, hence the dual name. Nearby recreational facilities in Edgewater Park include Memorial Field, and the Roosevelt Park and Pond. Memorial Field is a proposed location for the Delaware River Heritage Trail.[4]
