A {{convert|48|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} government-owned rail line, the Bangor-Shelton-Bremerton Navy Railroad, runs through the county. It is a branch off the [[Puget Sound and Pacific Railroad]], with its junction at Shelton. At the Bremerton Junction near Gorst a spur follows Highway 3 along the shore of the Sinclair Inlet terminating at the Puget Sound Naval Ship Yard, the other follows Highway 3 along the western shore of Dyes Inlet, servicing Bangor Naval Submarine Base. The Navy had originally intended to use armored trains to transport nuclear missiles to Bangor for the Trident submarines but protesters and a series of court decisions derailed the plan. Today the railroad is primarily used to transport scrap from PSNS.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Friedrich |first=Ed |date=September 24, 2012 |title=Much Has Changed Since Bangor's Ammo Depot Days |url=http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/local-news/much-has-changed-since-bangors-ammo-depot-days |work=Kitsap Sun |location=Bremerton, Wash.}}{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes}}</ref>
