The beloved and historic Clamshell Railroad transported people, oysters, cranberries and more up and down the Long Beach Peninsula before there were paved roads! Known as the train that ran by the tide table, not by the time table, retrace the whistle stops and learn about the early days of transportation out here at the "end of the road".
The Newton stop was a rather informal place, just a roof to stay out of the rain and a platform for passengers to embark and disembark the train. Unlike the nearby Long Beach and Shelburne stops, which featured small buildings where passengers could stay warm and dry, Newton was more of a convenience for those who lived in the area and didn't have the ability or time to walk into "town".
This cache was placed with the approval of the management of the nearby business.
