Here is another found shot from the archives that I'd never before edited or shared.
One of the most exciting projects of 2012 that I had a big hand in during my time as Superintendent was the Alaska Railroad's support of the Eva Creek Wind Farm construction. This 24 megawatt 12 turbine Golden Valley Electric project was installed high on the hills east of Ferry, Alaska.
Ferry is an actual 'community' and as of the 2020 census there were 17 residents. Aside from workers supporting the Eva Creek Wind Project, most people who travel to and from Ferry are hunters and sportsmen and people four wheeling on the old Ferry Trail as well as miners accessing claims in the Bonnifeld Mining District and proposed commercial projects such as the Liberty Bell Mine. But there is no road bridge connecting Ferry to the state road system. Locals are permitted to cross the railroad bridge using a walkway visible at lef, but at only about 46 inches wide only smaller atvs and pedestrians can fit. Anyone wishing to take a large side by side or a full size vehicle has to pay the railroad to haul it with their 'tundra truck' flatbed hi rail boom truck or pay for a train and load it on a flatcar in Healy for a dozen mile trip north across the bridge where the railroad has a stub ended spur track with an end ramp. As you may imagine more than one intrepid local has tried to avoid paying the railroad for that service and have driven right down the rails over this bridge. For that reason the Alaska Railroad Police make regular patrols and keep a close eye on the bridge to keep any unplanned 'meets' from happening!
Because Ferry is not on the road network all the components had to come in by rail, and
then get trucked up an old mining road reaching 10 miles into the hills that first had to be rebuilt! The towers, hubs, and nacelles all arrived in the port of Anchorage and were trucked to Healy due to clearance issues on the railroad. There they were loaded on to flat cars and shuttled 12 miles north to the offload site across the Nenana River at Ferry. The blades, however were built in the US and took an all rail routing to the port of Seattle and then traveled by rail barge to Whittier. They were each just over 148 ft long and traveled in three dedicated trains consisting of 12 blades each all the way from Whittier to Ferry. If you missed it here's a photo of a blade train in action: flic.kr/p/2juUU6q
Here is a shuttle train of hubs that have made the dozen mile trip north from the load out at Healy yard. They are cresting a hump and and rolling over the 288 ft span across the Nenana River here at MP 370.7. They climbed a short stretch of nearly 0.7% up to the bridge which is dead level before dipping into a 1.2% downgrade on this side. ARR GP38u 2007 is dressed in the 1980s 'Alaska Bold' scheme that she was delivered in after being acquired second hand in 1986. She was built by EMD as a straight GP38 in Sep. 1969 originally Penn Central 7780, later wearing Conrail blue before migrating north.

Some historians believe that the first ferry rights were granted before the Christchurch Priory was built, which would make the service nearly 1000 years old, but nobody disputes that the service is 200-250 years old.
There has been a passenger-ferry from Wick across the River Stour to Christchurch since about 1815, when it was set up to give employment to a farm labourer named Marshall, who had become unfit for farm work after being kicked in the thigh by a horse. It was operated by punt until 1947 when outboard engines were added to the ferry-boat, after which crossings began to be made in half the time. The service was discontinued for a short period in 1957.

Leaving Donghae, South Korea, I took a Ferry. My next destination was Vladivostok. It took almost one hole day from South Korea to Vladivostok by sea route.
When the ferry came to open sea, what you can sea other than the ship is just the ocean.
Ferry Hut on the river Mersey is the location from where the old ferry used to depart from going way back when this was the only way to cross the river. Many later years the Old Transporter bridge was built here and then the railway bridge and the Silver Jubilee road bridge. Very recently the Mersey Gateway bridge has opened.

A former watergate, the architect Cecil Upcher restored it and the house beside it in the 1940s, and then lived in them. Upcher's memorial is at Upper Sheringham, along with several centuries worth of Upchers.
