Going though some locks

[Wolfdog91 6,919]

Noting serious was just told I need to post more from out here....so jus though. Though some locks today. Got to break our two barge tow in half to go though these little ones vs where you can go right though with 20 burgers in two on the river

At night there's a lot of animals that hang out around these locks. Deer hogs heck I've actually seen flamingos. Apparently these like a small population this side of Texas

Unloading them dry barges would be a task upon itself without the worry of sinking them, interesting stuff for sure WD and nice one for posting the pics ..

Great pics WD. I remember when i worked unloading barges for South Yorkshires canal king Vic Waddington and used to be amazed the weight barges could carry especially steel billets how they kept afloat.
