River Days Revived On Upper Mississippi U. S. Barge Line Reclaims Traffic
The upper Mississippi sees a revival as a federal barge line begins operations from St. Louis to the Twin Cities with three towboats and 15 barges. More boats and 45 barges are planned, part of a $2,000,000 fleet and $3,780,000 Hastings dam funding, signaling growing river traffic and modern terminals from Minneapolis to Dubuque.
