Since the early days of [[rail transportation in the United States]], Philadelphia has served as a hub for several major rail companies, particularly the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] and the [[Reading Company|Reading Railroad]]. The Pennsylvania Railroad first operated [[Broad Street Station (Philadelphia)|Broad Street Station]], then [[30th Street Station]] and [[Suburban Station]], and the Reading Railroad operated [[Reading Terminal]], now part of the [[Pennsylvania Convention Center]]. The two companies also operated competing commuter rail systems in the area. The two systems now operate as a single system under the control of [[SEPTA]], the regional transit authority. Additionally, the [[PATCO Speedline]] subway system and [[NJ Transit]]'s [[Atlantic City Line]] operate successor services to [[South Jersey]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.njtransit.com/pdf/rail/r0090.pdf |title=Atlantic City with service to ... |access-date=November 26, 2007 |archive-date=November 26, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071126230014/http://www.njtransit.com/pdf/rail/r0090.pdf |url-status=dead}}&nbsp;{{small|(218&nbsp;KB) }}</ref>
