A nice bit of engineering. ;-)


Actually, now I'm wondering what was so important about that barge, and
those rusty old shipping containers. The containers could've been trucked
around the dam. Hopefully, they didn't build this whole apparatus just for
one event.


No, look carefully at the cogs on the rails, it's been used a lot, and
for a long time.
