“To Rehoboth on Friday, August 30th, 1878,” the large front-page ad in the Wilmington Morning Herald proclaimed that the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad Company “will run another excursion train to Rehoboth, the sea-side resort of Delaware.”
The train left Wilmington at 6 a.m. and after making over a dozen stops to pick up additional passengers, the train arrived at Rehoboth four and a half hours later. After more than seven hours to enjoy the beach, the excursionists reboarded the train at 6 p.m. for the return to Wilmington.
After Rehoboth Beach was founded in 1873, the railroad came to town five years later. In an era where the most common form of land transportation meant traveling along dusty, unpaved roads behind a team of animals whose barnyard aroma did little to enhance the ambiance of the experience, a railroad coach was a rolling palace.
