There were many car float operation in Baltimore, Md. One of the largest was that the reefers were taken to Peir One to load bananas. There were probably many other rail cars ferried back and forth as well. Bridges were too expensive to get from one side of the harbor channel to the other and tunnels were not practical. There were some river industries I served when I hauled steel and aluminum that had barges full of coils that were shipped down river from the mills. It would be easy to model a suitable river barge dock for rail cars as well. At one time I seriously considered using a Walthers Ferry as a sort of a "capsule" to carry cars to and from storage. I decided that I would treat it as a industry for the Bananna reefers etc. Good Luck Lee
