Joined: 16/11/2011(UTC) Posts: 5,754 Location: Hybrid Home		Recently, I saw many dispersed posts floating around with photos of train ferries and barges: https://www.marklin-user...t-trains.aspx#post432173 https://www.marklin-user...rototype.aspx#post447339 https://www.marklin-user...t-trains.aspx#post447973 https://www.marklin-user...-circles.aspx#post436373 https://www.marklin-user...rototype.aspx#post442209 https://www.marklin-user...rototype.aspx#post442377 I think this fascinating topic deserves a topic by itself. I start by focusing on the Mississippi River in the USA and post two photos of the 3rd "Ste Genevieve", a Missouri-Illinois rail car ferry retired in 1961 plus one of the car ferry W.B. Duncan at Helena, Arkansas. Alsterstreek attached the following image(s):

Joined: 25/07/2001(UTC) Posts: 11,165		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)...

Joined: 16/11/2011(UTC) Posts: 5,754 Location: Hybrid Home		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.

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.
