The railway played an important role in the historical development of the area. The original railway {Beachburg] line that transected the current conservation area (i.e. the causeway) was abandoned around 1929 when the construction of the hydro dam began and the area was flooded.  A new rail line [now also abandoned] was constructed along what is now the western boundary of the site.
