The Bay Coast Railroad (reporting mark BCR) operates the former Eastern Shore Railroad line from Pocomoke City, Maryland, to Norfolk, Virginia. The line uses two tug boat guided rail barges (car floats) of 25 and 15 car capacity to link the 26 mile water route across the Chesapeake Bay between Cape Charles, Virginia and Norfolk — using the north and south terminals of the now defunct Little Creek-Cape Charles Ferry. This car float operation has been in continuous service since April 1885, and is one of only two remaining in the United States (the other being New York New Jersey Rail, LLC).^{[citation needed]} The Bay Coast Railroad interchanges with the Norfolk Southern Railway at both Norfolk, Virginia and Pocomoke City.

In spring 2007 excursion trains were planned under the name Bay Creek Railway.

LLPX 2014 is leased to Bay Coast Railroad at the ferry terminal in Little Creek, Virginia.
