. . New Inlet Formed, Washing Away Railroad Bridge
FROM PAGE 68 the wake of the storm. The old railroad bridge that crossed from the mainland into the resort was completely obliterated by the storm, but the new U.S. Route 50 bridge was completed less than nine years after, which increased the flow of visitors to the resort town and jumpstarted the tourism-related building boom that would reshape the history of the town over the next several decades. Another unintended byproduct of the stabilization of the newly cut Inlet was a widening of the beach at the south end of Ocean City. Sand that drifted south as part of the natural process of the migratory barrier island began filling in behind the new stone jetty at the south end of town and continued to widen the white, sandy beach, which only contributed to the concept of Ocean City as a major vacation destination. While the storm threatened to erase the fledgling resort town from the map and caused hardship and despair for its inhabitants, the cutting of the Inlet and its associated after-effects changed the course of history for Ocean City forever. While it will always be remembered for its destructive force and the massive damage it caused, the epic storm of 1933 is also remembered as a turning point in the history of Ocean City.
The new Inlet is pictured the day after water from the back bays pushed into the ocean.
