The Shore Fast Line was a line of fast trolley cars running along the shore between Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Ocean City, New Jersey, from 1907 until 1948. The company that operated the Shore Fast Line was called Atlantic City and Shore Railroad.
Some historians believe that Charles Darrow, the patentor of the Monopoly board game, named the imaginary railroad Short Line, which appears on the game board, after the Shore Fast Line. It is also possible that the name Short Line simply referred to a short-line railroad, which is a railroad that operates along short distances.
