Tug Boats and Barges
Tug Boats and Barges on the Ohio River, we were camping by the Ohio river as we are heading south again, one of our favorite places in Metropolis Illinois.
The tug boats are still running on this river in November where as I heard that the mighty Mississippi river is drying up in some places farther south where the barges are sitting still because there is not enough water to go down stream.
This barge here is loaded with coal and moves down every morning at sunrise.

This is a beautiful view. Lovely pictures!
Thank you very much 🙂
I see that pretty bridge in the background as well. We see a lot of tugs and barges on the Detroit River. Last year I was fascinated to watch the tugboat pulling a huge barge with a crane for a dredging and repair operation near Elizabeth Park. The precision that these barges are moved with a tugboat that is so much smaller is just remarkable to me.
It really is Linda, and the hours the people work on these things, going up and down the river all day. Quite the job.
I was very impressed … they work hard and then have the lay-up season when the water is frozen, January to the beginning of April. They need it with the hours they work.
nice but I’m still not going anywhere near that bridge! 🤣😎🙃
Ah, come on. You can look right through it and see the water way, way down there. 😅
Ohh that was what I needed for encouragement. No 👎 bridges, thanks 🤣🙃😎
They’re all amazing, Sandra, but that top one… incredibly beautiful!
Thank you very much Kellye 😊
I see a lot of barges on the river in St. Paul, MN; but none look as beautiful as you captured with your camera, Sandra.
Thank you Don, I appreciate that. They can be very pretty with the warm glow of a sunrise behind them. 😊

It reminds me of my childhood days in Cincinnati and seeing the barges and tugs when we would go to the Cincinnati Airport which was actually across the Ohio River in Kentucky.
That is wonderful, I lived near the Mississippi River for years and would see a lot of these barges as well. 😊
Beautiful morning vista caught by your great photography Sandra 🙂
Thank you very much, rivers can be so peaceful early in the mornings. 😊
