Barges become active when Spring arrives. In this picture, the towboat is pushing four barges. If I'm not mistaken, I heard from a towboat pilot that a towboat pushes as many as 15 barges "Why is a towboat called a towboat when it pushes the barges?"  This pic was taken from the Downtown St. Paul side on July 5, 2003.
