The bike boat.

Back when the train rain a swing bridge connected the two ends of the cut. Two guys used to live out there and when it was time for the the train to come across they would rotate a huge cantilever that would swing the bridge closed. After the train passed they would pivot the bridge 90 degrees to leave it open for boats. The railroad stopped using the line back in the 50's over some right of way/ land disputes. I guess for some years they left the swing bridge in place, but eventually removed it. Now you get across (on the weekends only) by the bike ferry. Six passengers with bikes can ride at a time. They usually have two ferries, but we had the bad luck to arrive about an hour after one of the boats broke down. We had quite a long wait, but the boat ride was very cool.
