Crazy how much things can change in such a short time…

A few weeks ago I revisited the Lambertville train car, and it’s definitely in rougher shape than the last time I was here a few years ago.

Beyond the ever-changing graffiti, the floorboards inside are so worn that you can literally see straight down to the abandoned tracks beneath. I didn’t even dare to step inside this time.

Still, it remains one of my favorite spots to stop by whenever I’m in the area!

Here lies the infamous “ghost tracks”, located in Cape May, New Jersey. These train tracks mark the remnants of an old industrial railroad that are now buried beneath the sand.

Locals nicknamed them the “ghost tracks” because intense storms, tides, and coastal erosion occasionally expose them by shifting the sand away. When the sand returns, it buries the tracks once more.

The Cape May Sand Company originally laid the tracks in the early 1900s, not for passenger service, but to transport sand from the beach for glass and cement production. During World War I, the Bethlehem Steel Corporation utilized the area for munitions testing, running cannons and ammunition along the same tracks.

In 1936, officials suspended sand mining operations due to concerns about beach depletion.

If you’re lucky, you can spot the tracks at low tide between Higbee Beach and Sunset Beach.
