Marine Railway Nears Completion

The workers at Snyder's Shipyard have designed and built a marine railway for their Dayspring site. The project is in its final stages, with completion expected in the fall of 2007. Snyder's Shipyard will then have the ability to haul vessels that weight up to 200 tonnes on site.

Following is a Photo Gallery showing the progression of our marine railway...
