This is the story about how the Missunde 3, an electric ferry, replaced the Missunde 2, a polluting, old fashioned diesel ferry, in Germany.

Dallas has three different systems - a large light rail system that uses pantographs, a small stand alone that is a mix of pantograph and battery (uses battery power to get across the river into downtown), and a stand alone traditional trolley line that serves uptown and connects to the light rail downtown and at the only subway stop on the light rail system. The new line they are currently constructing will be heavy rail with diesel power. (There are also two separately run diesel lines that connect the light rail system with Fort Worth and Denton, respectively.)

Cable ferries have been in use in many other places for decades.

Sometimes the cable is fixed, and the motor is on the ferry.

Why didn’t they just build a bridge? Probably would have cost a heck of a lot less?

Looked and looked for DEIs. A shortage since the Flordia ovepass thing.
