==Transportation== The peninsula has minor airports with few commercial carriers, as it is overshadowed by proximate major airports in Baltimore and Philadelphia. Its airports include [[Wilmington Airport (Delaware)|Wilmington Airport]] southwest of Wilmington, Delaware, [[Salisbury–Ocean City–Wicomico Regional Airport|Salisbury Regional Airport]] to the southeast of Salisbury, Maryland, and [[Dover Air Force Base]] to the southeast of Dover, Delaware. Major north–south highways include [[U.S. 9]], [[U.S. 13]], [[U.S. 50]] and [[U.S. 301]]. Highways U.S. 50 and U.S. 301 run over the [[Chesapeake Bay Bridge]] on the western side of the peninsula. U.S. 13 at the southern limit of the peninsula connects through the [[Chesapeake Bay Bridge–Tunnel]] to the main part of Virginia. Until 1957, the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] provided service to the peninsula.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Pennsylvania Railroad, Table 65 |journal=Official Guide of the Railways |date=December 1957 |issue=90 |pages=7 |publisher=National Railway Publication Company}}</ref> It ran the ''[[Del-Mar-Va Express]]'' day train from New York City, through [[Wilmington, Delaware|Wilmington]], [[Dover, Delaware|Dover]], Delmar, [[Salisbury, Maryland|Salisbury]], and [[Pocomoke City]] to the [[Cape Charles, Virginia]], ferry docks and it ran the ''Cavalier'' counterpart night train. At that point, ferries ran to [[Norfolk, Virginia]]. In earlier decades branches ran to [[Centreville, Maryland]]; [[Oxford, Maryland]]; [[Cambridge, Maryland]]; Georgetown and [[Lewes, Delaware]]; and to [[Franklin City, Virginia]]. Today, the [[Delmarva Central Railroad]] provides freight and tanker transportation on the peninsula.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.carloadexpress.com/railroads/delmarva-central-railroad/ |title=Delmarva Central Railroad |website=Carload Express |date=November 8, 2016 |language=en-US |access-date=October 21, 2018 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210730020142/https://www.carloadexpress.com/railroads/delmarva-central-railroad/ |archive-date=July 30, 2021}}</ref>
