@mattblaze@federate.social I think such a thing used to cross the south end of Chesapeake Bay. From Cape Charles to maybe where the marine corps base is now. The ramps for the rail head are immense. Tons of timber and gravel. I think the Bay Bridge-Tunnel made it superfluous.

@slott56@fosstodon.org Yes, though that carfloat service actually managed to hang on (with very light traffic) until, I believe, 2012! The tracks near Cape Charles have recently been removed.

@mattblaze@federate.social it was a magnificent pile of stuff. I need to see if I took pictures. It seemed like the kind of mess too huge to remove.
