Research methods: This paper investigates the relevent questions about the railway ferry adopting to the motorcycle， vehicle and work characteristic，with computer check of illustrated manual table，theoretical analysis，calculation and imitation experiment. And we get a right conclusion through scientific research.
Research conclusions: The questions，which involved in the engineering，such as station shape，work method，ability calculation，the max slope of trestle and trestle orbit } have been solved. Especially，the railway trestle absorbs many advanced techniques，being rated as“four first" of railway ferry in our country. The research and design results of Yantai-Dalian railway ferry have passed the reviewing of the supervisor section in our country. Many have been carried on in the engineering construction，and the parts of results have been adopted in “Railway industry station，harbour station design norm" and ”The railway station and terminal design technique manual"
