<p>[quote user="GN-Rick"]Indeed I can-at least for my home region. The Milwaukee Road operated a carfloat service on Puget Sound in Washington State. This served to connect its mainline in Seattle/Tacoma with the disconnected trackage they operated both in Bellingham and near Port Angeles on Washington's peninsula. The old dock in Seattle's port area is still in place. A photo of it is in one of the Warren Wing "Northwest Rail Pictorial" books-I believe Vol.1. In fact, there is still an extensive carfloat operation even today on Puget Sound as that is how the Alaska Railroad is connected to the lower 48. Hope this helps.[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>Mr. John Crosby, a former Milwaukee Road employee, has a website (<a href="http://www.mrcd.org/">http://www.mrcd.org</a>) that has a brief synopsis of Milwaukee Road Puget Sound carfloat operations and a few pictures from the late 1970's</p>
