Since that time various “special” trains have been
run. Mainly for the Delaware State Fair
in Harrington or for the Nascar races in Dover.

Last Passenger Service between Wilmington and Delmar
On January 1st 1966 the last regular passenger
train service ended between Wilmington and Delmar when PRR train #455 pulled into
Delmar at 7:44 PM and M. B. Parsons called out for the last time “Delmar”. Called the
"Blue Diamond" the run had been established with State funded support
for an early morning AM trip North to Wilmington and a PM trip south to Delmar Monday
thru Friday.
