The station area last had regional passenger train service by the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines in the mid-1960s. Final service into Camden, New Jersey (across the Delaware River from Philadelphia) ended in January 1966, while service to Lindenwold station ended in October 1981.[1]
Train service resumed in 1999, but stopped in 2005 due to structural concerns, but resumed again in 2010.[2] The terminal is located at the intersection of Lafayette and Elmira Streets.[3] Service was suspended after 2012 following extensive vandalism of the rail line.[4] In 2015 the City of Cape May announced a proposal for parking space expansion that would pave over the tracks.[5]
