Cape May City Rail Terminal

The Cape May City Rail Terminal is a passenger train station in Cape May, New Jersey. The station offered train service from 1863 through 1983. Train service resumed in 1999, but stopped in 2005 due to structural concerns, but resumed again in 2010.[1] The terminal is located at the intersection of Lafayette and Elmira Streets.[2] Service was suspended after 2012 following extensive vandalism of the rail line.[3] In 2015 the City of Cape May announced a proposal for parking space expansion that would pave over the tracks.[4]
