Album Info:Once belonging to the Atlantic City Railroad (RDG), these tracks once served the sand plant that was located along the beach in Cape May, NJ. Hidden from view since the 1930's, it was only until recently that the shifting sands at Sunset Beach revealed about 100 feet of the rusted and weathered set of rails along the Delaware Bay.

Title:  Cape May Sand Plant Tracks
Description:  Once belonging to the Atlantic City Railroad (Reading Railroad), these tracks once served the sand plant that was located along the beach in Cape May, NJ. Hidden from view since the 1930's, they reappeared on the beach in 2014 after a storm washed away much of the covering sand.
