Tug in Lock

This is a very large group of barges (lashed together) being pushed through the locks.   It is a very tight fit ( like a few feet clearance on each side.  The tug comes out slowly and the operator used his thrusters to get the bow of the barges to start moving starboard.  (to the right).  Another 10 minutes and he will be chugging, full speed, down the river heading for Portland.
