The Aquatrain (or AquaTrain) was an unpowered unmanned sea-going rail barge operated by Canadian National Railway (CN) between Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada, and the Alaska Railroad in Whittier, Alaska, United States. It is the largest such barge in the world, containing 8 sidings and using a tug for power and control. The length of loadable train, some 50 cars, would, if the cars were placed end to end, rise up twice as tall as the Chicago Willis Tower. The ferry service started operations in 1962, and had a 3-day voyage between Whittier and Prince Rupert, usually operating once a week, year-round. The Aquatrain barge was built in 1982 by South Korea's Shin-A shipbuilding, and is 400 ft × 100 ft (122 m × 30 m). Since 1993, the Aquatrain's maritime tugboats and tug crews were pro

| - 水上列车(英语:Aquatrain或AquaTrain)是加拿大国家铁路曾经运营的一条铁路轮渡线路,现已停运。运营期间连接加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省鲁珀特王子港和美国阿拉斯加州惠蒂尔。使用的船舶为由拖船拖动的无动力驳船,无动力驳船内设8线铁路,无动力驳船为全球同类船舶中最大的。一次可运载50节火车车厢;若将这些火车车厢竖立起来,则约相当于韦莱集团大厦高度的12倍。这一铁路轮渡于1962年开通,每周一班,船期3天,全年无休。停运前夕使用的无动力驳船由韩国造船企业“Shin-A”于1982年制造,长122米,宽30米。1993年后,拖船部分的船舶和船员均外判予。在该处使用两艘名称分别为“贾丝廷·福斯号(Justine Foss)”和“芭芭拉·福斯号(Barbara Foss)”的拖船。 2021年4月,水上列车停运。 (zh)
