Then there was the problem with the sailboats during the summer wanting thru.
Course they always showed up at train time. Some would drop the mast to get

they only reason those barges got wedge under the bridge is the fact the river
was above flood stage which is 15' here. normal river levels is 7' - 8'

I am going to miss the barges hitting the bridge. Everybody used to go nuts
