Ocean City Railroad Company stock certificate circa 1901

This was the last issuance of stock before acquired by the Atlantic City Railroad in 1901.  Plain but rare certificate.  Unissued, printed date 190_.

Incorporated 1884, this rail line ran a short piece of track along the coast from Ocean City Junction to Ocean City, NJ. Acquired by the Atlantic City Railroad in 1901 along with the Seacoast Railroad, and the Camden County Railroad.

Ocean City 34th Street Station was located in Ocean City, Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. The station — a small wooden shelter with bench seating for a few passengers, located just south of 34th Street next to a rail line running down the middle of Haven Avenue — was built in 1885 by the Ocean City Railroad, which was acquired by the Atlantic City Railroad in 1901, and later by the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. Trains last served the station in August 1981, when service was cancelled due to poor track conditions and limited funding from the New Jersey Department of Transportation.  The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1984. It was subsequently damaged beyond repair when a truck backed into it, and thus demolished.
