A railroad once brought summertime visitors from Washington D.C. to Chesapeake Beach. Its road bed is preserved in the Mears Avenue road bed, and from the train station in Chesapeake Beach the line went west along Fishing Creek. The Fishing Creek Boardwalk Trail follows the same path as the railroad, where the remains of the trestle structure and the original trestle pilings can still be seen beneath the timber walkway. The railroad operated from 1900 until 1935, bringing visitors to the train station in Chesapeake Beach, which now houses the Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum.
