Trains carried on ships
"Troy Steadman" wrote in message m... Didn't there used to be trains that instead of disgorging their passengers at the docks actually drove (drove?) steamed on to sidings on the decks of ships then steamed off Stena-like to continue their journey across Europe? Freight used to be handled this way from several ports, uncluding Harwich and Dover. The only passenger service to taken across by ship was the Night Ferry, which ceased in 1980. I did the trip and photographed the process about a month before it ceased. Handling was very smooth: I slept (sober) through the handling at Dover on the return trip only waking up half-way back to London (Victoria). |
