While we were waiting for a train to come by, we noticed this towboat doing
its thing on the river. So, we snapped a few shots. It appears that the barge was pushed down the Mississippi River to the confluence with the St. Croix River. Then they did a 180 and shoved up the St. Croix. The state is building a big new bridge over the St. Croix up near Stillwater. This new bridge will replace an ancient lift bridge that has been an aggravating bottleneck for years.

Looks like a nice day to take pictures. Bob |

The breeze blowing off Lake Pepin was a little cool... -Vlad -- Vlad & Genny Kedrovsky, Edina, MN, USA vjkedrovsky at gmail dot com Some of Vlad's train and car pix can be seen at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/105989528@N06/sets .. |
