    Just as cruel as ever ;)

    I don't seem to have any lists of rail-ferries; just bridges, yards and turntables.
    I also have a long day at work tomorrow, so I don't really have time to play.

    Good luck, Have fun! :D

    Pretty neat....can't say I've looked at many of those before. Oh, BTW, this ferry travels about 200 miles to one of it's other ports. :tb-biggrin:

    Looks warm. That track has rusted / turned brown the area around it.
    Wonder if it's a lake or open ocean traveler? :)

    The Mopac once had a considerable navy of ferries and such in the deep south. I wonder if this is one?

    I prolly should have known--the water is too clear. The Mississippi delta is some really murky water....

    Whew!

    Almost had a BIG time blunder.... There is another ferry that looks EXACTLY like this one in another part of the region. That one is the one I found first and the one that I had tagged for my own reference. Good thing I didn't post the location or I would have been WRONG :( The funny thing is, it is part of the same system and even in a different country as the one I found.

    Have fun searching!!!

    I know which one you found.:tb-biggrin: The south end of the lake.(Looks pretty much the same zoomed in)

    Sure does! I didn't even pay much attention to the following photos after Darren zoomed out. I just realized the goof today. But at least my clue about distance to other areas is still fairly accurate.

    BTW, there's a train station a few hundred feet from this ferry and the engine's colors are blue with a red stripe. :)

    The "lake" and "go east" comments is what did it! :D
