Hi Folks,
Does anyone know when the PRSL branch to Cape May Point was last used? Are the tracks still there, buried in the weeds? I remember going on vacation to that area as a kid in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and would see the Route 606? crossing of this line still marked by crossbucks and overgrown with what seemed to be like a jungle over the tracks near the Cape May lighthouse. Was the dolomite plant located on this line? Speaking of which, what exactly is dolomite? Did this line intersect the main stem of the PRSL north of the canal? Was there a wye at this junction or was the switch facing north to Tuckahoe or south to Cape May?Finally, does the Cape May Seashore Lines have any plans to restore this line to operation? I've always thought a sunset train ride to the lighthouse would be nice.
Thanks...
-Mike
