Dartmouth Ferry
Early plans had been for the railway to reach the important harbour at Dartmouth. This proved impossible, however, so the railway operated a ferry across the River Dart from their railway terminus at Kingswear to a station at Dartmouth. This ferry is now operated by the heritage Dartmouth Steam Railway.

Famous quotes containing the word ferry:
“What have Massachusetts and the North sent a few sane representatives to Congress for, of late years?... All their speeches put together and boiled down ... do not match for manly directness and force, and for simple truth, the few casual remarks of crazy John Brown on the floor of the Harper’s Ferry engine-house,—that man whom you are about to hang, to send to the other world, though not to represent you there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
