====Historic==== Daily passenger rail service by the [[New Haven Railroad]] from Boston to Cape Cod ended in June 1959. Summertime ''[[Day Cape Codder]]'' service by the New Haven from New York City to the Cape ended in 1964. In 1978, the tracks east of South Dennis were abandoned and replaced with the [[Cape Cod Rail Trail]]. Another bike path, the [[Shining Sea Bikeway]], was built over abandoned tracks between Woods Hole and Falmouth in 1975, and in 2008 the {{convert|7.4|mi|km|adj=mid|long}} rail line between Falmouth and North Falmouth was removed and the right-of-way converted into an extension of the Shining Sea Bikeway.
