The Shore Fast Line was a line of fast trolley cars running from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Ocean City, New Jersey, by way of the mainland communities of Pleasantville, Northfield, Linwood and Somers Point. The line ran from 1907 until 1948. The company that operated the Shore Fast Line was called Atlantic City and Shore Railroad.
Some historians[who?] believe that Charles Darrow, the patentee 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.
