Comment: There is nothing of substance here. The only secondary source is about a plant that happened to be found near the station, and this is a one sentence mention, nowhere near significant coverage. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 23:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Bishops Bridge station is a former railway station in the U.S. state of New Jersey operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad and later by the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines.
The station was described as "a flag-stop near Atco ... along the steam line of the Pennsylvania Railroad to Atlantic City, about twenty miles out of Camden."[1] It was at mile 18.4 of the Atlantic City Line from Camden.[2]
Before 1921, the plant Croton glandulosus, sometimes considered an invasive species, was noted "along the railroad above Bishops Bridge" on a bed of "loose cinder railroad-ballast".[1] Apart from isolated reports from this location and Philadelphia, the plant was not otherwise known north of the U.S. state of Virginia.
