Walthers Cornerstone HO 933-3152 Railroad Carfloat Kit

Where bridges were too expensive or impossible to build, railroads turned to car floats. These big barges feature a flat deck with up to three sets of tracks, allowing for quick movement of virtually any rail car over water. These "floating rail yards" were especially common in big city harbors and on many inland rivers, in many cases providing the only rail connection to the main line. Since they were unpowered, they required the services of a railroad tug to move them from point to point. The basic design was used for decades, so many steam-era veTrans lasted until the end of operations on most lines.
