Cape May Seashore Lines Extending Service

[dlagrua]

For the last several years this short line has been operating largely as a tourist line going from Cape May Court House to Cape May New Jersey. It was abandoned for years until Tony Macrie some investors and NJ Transit teamed together to restore part of what was once the Penn Reading Seashore lines that ran from Camden to Cape May with branch service to Ocean City and Wildwood.
The track which is being restored will connect to Tuckahoe about 35 miles to the North of Cape May. Two switch towers and the Tuckahoe, COld Spring and Cape May Stations have also been restored to this point.
Last I spoke with Tony he planned to have frieght service on the line this year and have the trackage completly restored from Cape May to Tuckahoe in 2006. When this is completed,the last remaining stretch of 5 miles of track would then go to Winslow Junction where the Atlantic City Line now crosses.
So far these has been no mention of service beyond Cape May Courthouse but with luck we might see something this summer. Has anyone heard anything?
