Broadway was selected as the eastern terminus of the Bridge Line, a rapid transit line linking Camden with Philadelphia. New underground platforms were built beneath the existing station. Service began on June 7, 1936. Provision was made in the tunnel for future expansion to the east.[6] The Pennsylvania Railroad abandoned its ferry service between Philadelphia and Camden on March 31, 1952, and Broadway became the new western terminus of its Camden services.[7] Broadway was enlarged in response, including the addition of an escalator to its elevated platforms.[8]
The development of the PATCO Speedline in the mid-1960s resulted in dramatic changes to the railroad lines around Broadway. The Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines abandoned its main line between Camden and West Haddonfield on January 16, 1966; Atlantic City trains bypassed Camden and terminated at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia.[9] Services on the Pennsylvania's Pemberton Branch and the PRSL's Millville Branch remained until October 3, when they were shifted to a new station on the Amboy Branch at 12th and Federal.[10]
The Bridge Line was temporarily closed on December 28, 1968 for conversion into the PATCO Speedline.[11] The Lindenwold–City Hall segment, including Broadway, reopened on January 4, 1969.[12]
The surface-level bus transfer center opened on May 17, 1989 as Camden Transportation Center and was renamed in 1994 for Walter Rand, a former New Jersey State Senator, who specialized in transportation issues while serving in both houses of the New Jersey Legislature. River Line service began on March 15, 2004.
In October 2021, NJ Transit announced plans to replace the facility with a new one, awarding a contract to conduct conceptual design, preliminary and final engineering and construction assistance services to HNTB.[13]
