The Short Line is said to refer to the Shore Fast Line, an interurban electric streetcar.

However, there was an actual railroad, the Wildwood and Delaware Bay Short Line Railroad, which merged with the Atlantic City Railroad in 1934. ACRR was a subsidiary of the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines, which served the New Jersey coast.

The other railroads were also based on existing ones in the area of Atlantic City, NJ in the 1930s:

The Reading Railroad began as the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad in 1833.

The Pennsylvania Railroad was founded in 1846.

The B&O Railroad was the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, now part of CSX. (It did not actually serve Atlantic City.)
