I posted this on the NJ Railfan forum but thought I might have a better shot at a response here.
While driving south along Rt.50 southeast of Tuckahoe between Petersburg and Seaville, I noticed what distinctly looked like an abandoned ROW south of where the Beesley Secondary and ex-Ocean City branch swings into the woods after crossing Petersburg swamp. This ROW parallels the north side of Rt. 50 for about 1/2 a mile between the swamp and a campground and there was one stretch where several yards of ties had also been recently pulled up. Is this the remains of the Sea Isle branch or was it some other stretch of RR? In all the years that I've driven down that way, this was the first time I had noticed it.
