They went out of biz in the early 80's. You maybe thinking of Sealand who was acquired from the CSX by Maersk some years ago. Also I would say due to extreme weather conditions in the Behring Strait car ferries may not be to safe. Just ask the Russians when they were building the Siberian transcon they intended to car ferry trains across lake Baikal & check out there results of that venture.

I don't know who is running it now. I also think the ferry connection out of Prince Rupert is still operating. I pay almost no attention to this part of things so I can be out of date. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Yes, the Alaska(not sure which port) to Prince Rupert BC railroad ferry service is still in operation by the CN, billed as the CN's "AquaTrain" ferry service [C):-)].
