Atlantic City Union Station was an intercity passenger rail station located at 2121-2125 Arctic Avenue in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It was opened in 1934 by the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines (PRSL) and consolidated the operations of the two previously competing rail lines. In 1964, construction of the Atlantic City Expressway severed the rail connection to the station. It was then renovated and became the Atlantic City Municipal Bus Terminal while rail service was relocated north to a more modest building on Bacharach Boulevard. It served as a bus terminal until 1997 when it was demolished. The former station site is now occupied by a retail outlet mall.
