. Car Floats At least a handful or more car floats were owned and used by the New England Terminal Company, which was the nautical arm of the Housatonic and the New York & New England.

. I'd like to find pictures of some transfer car floats that date back to this period.

. We are trying to find out if there were any other ferries, barges or car floats besides these that served Wilson Point.

. Serving the South end of the module will be several railcar ferries and/or car floats which will interface with the modeled slips.

. These ferries and car floats will act as cartridge-based staging for traffic bound for and originating at New York City.
