WESTPORT TERMINAL RR

Waterfront Structures at Westport

Waterline traffic goes from Westport to Buffalo Bay and back. This is done with a barge. The "harbor" has 2/3' x 3 1/3' (20cm x 100 cm).

In 1993 there was in RMC an article by Doug Geiger: "The Making of Union Bay". Following this article I've built barge and apron. The barge is about 2 ¹/2' long and can hold up to eight 40' cars or six 50' cars. The barge can be removed and go to Buffalo Bay. This is a fiddle yard.
