Cape May County's Beach Railroads

Cape May County in New Jersey is a scenic ocean-side city forming a portion of the Atlantic Ocean coastline. It's had a unique and rather detailed railroad history too. As interurban railroads began to make their mark within the area during the late 1870s, the larger mainline railroads were able to link Philadelphians with the scenic views of Cape May, New Jersey, with the interurbans providing local transport. The interurbans linking up with steamships also provided ease of transit into the city as well. However, Cape May's railroad history is probably most noted for the mysterious "ghost tracks" of Sunset Beach. Those ghost tracks once were host of industrial railroading activities parallel to the Delaware Bay near the Atlantic Ocean. Sand mining, munitions testing, and a magnesite plant were all part of the ghost tracks' history. In this video I take a brief look into the history of Cape May's railroads, and the general story of the city's ghost tracks.
