We like boats and we like trains. We especially like old boats and old trains back in days of steam power. Here's a photo from a while back of the steamboat MEMPHIS waiting to take Southern Railway train passengers across the Elizabeth River, back and forth between Portsmouth VA and Norfolk.
For those who didn't know it, Norfolk is an island, even modern day we must take a bridge, tunnel or boat to get from the mainland. The good tug MEMPHIS alternated between passenger runs and moving train car barges across the river.
