The 6,145 Horse Towboat M/V "Queen City" leaves an Ohio River Lock upbound with 15 empty barges, pushing her way through 6" to 1 ft. Thick Ice.
Her Engines - Screaming as they stain to shove tons of crushed ice - ahead of the Towhead. Video by Joe E. Brown of Western Rivers Workboats - a scale towboat plans source for modelers.
Fifteen empties with that much h.p. not so bad as far as a workload even in ice. Good looking boat. We were pushing twelve double-locking on the frozen Arkansas. 2300 h.p.
