The Night Ferry (1936-1980) was an international sleeper train between London Victoria and Paris Gare du Nord (and later also Brussels and Basle) operated by the SNCF and the Southern Railway (later British Rail). I post rolling stock pix in the "Mixed Railroads and Road Names" thread. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_FerryAlsterstreek attached the following image(s): |

M/S Malmöhus - Went between Malmö, Sweden - Copenhagen, Denmark between 1945-1986.... Carried passengers too until 1974. I remember going with this ferry as a kid to Denmark where I saw the 87/1 scale 3067 for the first time at the Copenhagen main station in the 60's... Even remember what I ate in the ferry restaurant on that particular trip - "Hakkeböf"...    Later it was modified & painted black (1976)...  |

The Rheinhausen–Hochfeld train ferry on the Rhine between Rheinhausen and Hochfeld, now districts of Duisburg in Germany, built by the Rhenish Railway Company commenced operations in 1866. In the background is the Duisburg-Hochfeld rail bridge which eventually replaced the ferry. The latter ran until 1874. Alsterstreek attached the following image(s): |

From 1909 until 1998 there was a railway ferry calling the German port of Sassnitz on the island of Ruegen, linking Germany and Sweden (Trelleborg). In 1998 operations moved to the nearby modern facilities at Mukran. Currently, railway passenger services are offered only by the Berlin-Night-Express Malmö–Berlin which is operated by a commercial operator, i.e. none of the state railways. The first attachment shows a recent postal memorial stamp, while the two black and white images reflect the situation during the time of the German Democratic Republic.

Regards, Michael. Wondered when something from my home town would come up. Those seas are mild too ...  As mentioned in the comments, it is also a rail ferry, has three tracks inside, but the points are all on the quay ...  I must see if I can find the link to a picture of the link bridge with all the tracks on it.
