that would work if the barges hadn't been tied to a dock already. they broke free. not really a whole lot could have been done.

I beleive the railroad bridge was struck in the past month. I think some restrictions should be put in place when the river is flowing fast, such as pull over and tie up and wait for better conditions. The tow that got in trouble at the Bellville lock caused all kinds of problems for the folks up the Little Kanawa river. Nuff said.
