Very nice, ferrys are fun.  I crossed the Potomac River at White's Ferry, heading to Leesburg, VA last year, on the General Jubal A. Early:

Another great set of pictures Daniel.

Here's one crossing the Columbia River on the Needles-Fauquier BC cable ferry.

Sasquatch Jim's photo reminded me of another.  The Inchelium-Gifford ferry across the Columbia below Kettle Falls.  3 Guzzis on this ride, but we didn't cross.

Interesting boat as it seems to be powered by 4 diesel outboards.
