Taken: Circa 2007
Caption: The Lytton Cable Ferry
Additional Description: "This is a "reaction" ferry which crosses the Fraser River just north of Lytton on Highway 12. There is a cable above the water which guides the ferry across rudders adjusted to benefit from the current. There are no motors and it runs 365 days a year, provided there are no ice floes or debris coming down the river." Lytton Ferry postcard.
