Ferry Road
The base remains bisected by a finger of land not part of the base. The land includes Ferry Road, a rail line, and the docks serving current cross-bay rail barge traffic of Bay Coast Railroad, formerly the Eastern Shore Railroad, to Cape Charles, Virginia.
Ferry Road, crossed by the base's Guam Road-Amphibious Drive bridge, once served the now defunct Little Creek-Cape Charles Ferry which transported passengers and motor vehicles across the mouth of the bay to Cape Charles and Kiptopeke until replacement in 1964 by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

Famous quotes containing the words ferry and/or road:
“John Brown and Giuseppe Garibaldi were contemporaries not solely in the matter of time; their endeavors as liberators link their names where other likeness is absent; and the peaks of their careers were reached almost simultaneously: the Harper’s Ferry Raid occurred in 1859, the raid on Sicily in the following year. Both events, however differing in character, were equally quixotic.”
—John Cournos (1881–1956)
“Poverty at home is not a problem, but poverty on the road can be fatal.”
—Chinese proverb.
