At Norfolk, BCRR's Little Creek Yard classifies traffic for daily direct connections with Norfolk Southern at their Portlock Yard and with the Norfolk Portsmouth Belt line for connections with CSXT. Also handled in this yard is the expediting of north-south bridge traffic and local traffic originating or terminating in the Norfolk switching district.
Daily car float operations are scheduled to avoid delays
to cars on either end of the float route and to conform to north-south freight
train schedules established by BCRR and its connections. Each round trip
between Cape Charles and Little Creek takes approximately 12 hours.
A number of shippers and receivers on the Delmarva Peninsula, the Northeast,
and Norfolk provide a good mix of traffic. Some of the commodities handled are:
coal, stone, grain, propane gas, concrete, chemicals, clay, brick, fertilizer,
paper, and food stuffs. The Bay Coast Railroad and its employees take pride in
providing customer-oriented quality transportation service.
