Delaware, Maryland and Virginia Railroad

At the latter city, steamship connections could be made to Chincoteague, Virginia on the Atlantic Ocean-side exterior islands.

[1] By 1876, the Worcester Railroad had built an extension of the B&F line to Franklin City, Virginia and Chincoteague Bay for the purpose of transporting oysters and other shellfish to Philadelphia.

[3] In March 1891, the DMVR approached default on two mortgages totaling $600,000 and so the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad (PW&BR) took control of the company.

The Delaware General Assembly met with DMVR directors and those of the PW&BR in order to avoid the default and keep the rail lines open.

The Harbeson Railroad Station privy, built in 1870, was donated to the Lewes Historical Society and moved to their campus by 2022.

[9] The old Lewes-Rehoboth Canal bridge, and the date stone from the west abutment, are on permanent display along the Lewes-Georgetown Trail at American Legion Road in Lewes.

[11] From Georgetown to Snow Hill several old stations remain including the one at Queponco Road in Newark, DE, which is now a museum.

In 2020, the Federal Government announced that it wanted the Franklin City Depot removed and began looking for people to take it.
