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:
“This ferry was as busy as a beaver dam, and all the world seemed anxious to get across the Merrimack River at this particular point, waiting to get set over,—children with their two cents done up in paper, jail-birds broke lose and constable with warrant, travelers from distant lands to distant lands, men and women to whom the Merrimack River was a bar.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
