One of the towboats on the lower Miss. river. The M/V Crimson Glory is pushing a tow that is 7 barges long and 6 barges wide. That's 1400 feet long and 210 feet wide. If I remember right that's about 7 to 8 acres of surface area that he is pushing up the river. If the barges were loaded it would be the equivalent of 630 train hopper cars or 2436 tractor trailer rigs. Pretty impressive!!
