NEWARK — NJ Transit said it has met year-end requirements for federally mandated safety improvements on the Atlantic City Rail line — but when the line will reopen is still up in the air.

State elected officials have been given different timetables on the matter.

Representatives for the agency would not say when the line would be operational, but they are “committed to reopening the Atlantic City Rail Line in early 2019.”

Reached Wednesday, Assemblyman Vince Mazzeo’s office referred all comments to a news release it issued last week, in which Mazzeo and Assemblyman John Armato, both D-Atlantic, said the line would be reopened “towards the first of the year.”

However, state Sen. Chris Brown, R-Atlantic, said NJ Transit Executive Director Kevin Corbett told him Tuesday “the best-case scenario” was the line would be reopened at the end of January, but it could take until March.

The agency said it is still looking to reopen the line early in the year but is extending a 25 percent discount on bus fares through the end of January.
