In God we trust
The Eastern Shore of Virginia is comprised of the County of Northampton and the
county of Accomac which are on the Eastern Shore of The Chesapeake Bay
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel is a link connecting US Highway 13 in Virginia Beach
to US Highway 13 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.It is a Modern Marvel 17.6 miles long with tunnels connecting
it under each of two chanels.
Before the BBT was built, the link to the Eastern Shore of Virginia was
by ferry which landed in Cape Charles. Cape Charles was built as a terminus for the Chesapeake & Atlantic railroad
in 1886 which is, at the present time, used for freight and terminates in Cape Charles at "Float Bridges" which are used
to load freight cars onto "Car Floats" which are moved across the Chesapreke Bay by tug boats.
There is now a vintage excursion train using the tracks. It is called
"Bay Creek Railway".
The Eastern Shore of Virginia is the
southern end of the "DELMARVA" peninsula it is bordered on the north by Pokomoke, Maryland and on the south by The Bay
Bridge Tunnel.
