Viewing Album:  Bay Coast Railroad
 
By:William Grimes
Dates:3/11/2006 - 8/8/2018
Album Info:The Bay Coast Railroad (BCR) operated from 2006 to 2018. The BCR took over the Eastern Shore Railroad and car float operation in 2006. They operated between Pocomoke City, Maryland, and Norfolk, Virginia. The car float operation between Norfolk and Cape Charles ceased operations in 2012, leaving the line severed and operated as two separate sections. The BCR was abandoned in 2018, with the Norfolk Terminal Operations becoming Buckingham Branch and 14 miles from Pocomoke City, MD to Hallwood, VA, became Delmarva Central.
