Have you seen that contraption off the shore of Canton Waterfront Park? That’s the Canton Railroad Transfer Bridge! In a few places around the city, railroads used ferries to transport railroad cars across the harbor and this transfer bridge made that possible. Thanks for watching our Five Minute Histories video and see you next week with another one!
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." We record short videos about different historic places all over Baltimore and post them on our Facebook page, YouTube channel, and website. For more information or to become a member of Baltimore Heritage, check out: baltimoreheritage.org/support
