McLure Ferry : ウィキペディア英語版 | McLure Ferry The McLure Ferry is a cable ferry across the North Thompson River in British Columbia, Canada. It is situated about north of Kamloops.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Inland Ferry Schedules )〕 Specifically, the ferry is a reaction ferry, which is propelled by the current of the water. An overhead cable is suspended from towers anchored on either bank of the river, and a "traveller" is installed on the cable. The ferry is attached to the traveller by a bridle cable. To operate the ferry, rudders are used to ensure that the pontoons are angled into the current, causing the force of the current to move the ferry across the river.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Appendix D - Reaction ferry operation - McLure )〕 The ferry operates under contract to the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation, is free of tolls, and runs on demand between 0700 and 1820. It carries a maximum of 2 cars and 12 passengers at a time. The crossing is about in length, and takes 5 minutes. The ferry does not operate at times of high water or winter freeze up.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Inland Ferry Schedules )〕 ==References==
