is a
Short Line Railroad in southern
New Jersey . It operates one line, from
Tuckahoe, New Jersey to
Cape May, New Jersey , with a spur to
Cape May Point . The track is owned by
New Jersey Transit and leased to CMSL. The
Southern Railroad Of New Jersey also has trackage rights on the line, at least north of
Rio Grande , but doesn't use them due to lack of business. Connections are provided with
Conrail 's
Beesley's Point Secondary , owned jointly by
CSX and
Norfolk Southern , at the north end in
Tuckahoe .
CMSL runs
Freight Trains and
Excursion Trains .
The line to Cape May was built by the
Tuckahoe And Cape May Railroad , and operated by the
Reading Railroad and later
Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines . Eventually it became part of
Conrail , which ended freight service over the line on
September 10 ,
1983 and sold it to
New Jersey Transit as their Cape May Branch. CMSL began operations in January
1984 .
