Ralph Wrote:Do you have a purpose in mind for the track by the harbor?Not yet. :oops: I'm not real familiar with what happens between trains and boats in that era and I'm trying to learn how they went about getting the product (whatever it may be) from one to the other.
I'm NOT interested in any kind of coal transfer, a car ferry, or intermodal double stacks. With that said though, I kind of like the idea of intermodal transfer of era correct semi trailers. For the most part, I think I'd just like to park a tug there with a barge full of crates or something. I dunno... still learning... open to ideas. What kind of a ship did they used to use to transfer semi trailers?
