| Here is page three of a four-page article by Dick Moore & Pat Flannery entitled "Railroading On Chesapeake Bay." It was published originally in the August 1950 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 16. Photo Caption: "Seagulls play the role of hobo and take a free ride across Chesapeake Bay, perched atop the freight cars and on the mast of the float. Up ahead, the seagoing 'locomotive' chugs along at speeds up to 10 knots (roughly 11-1/2 miles an hour). The crossing takes about three hours." |
