Is that a solution to the problem of water too shallow to get the barge any closer and for some reason, not being able to dredge out a slip for a more traditional "ramp" from terra firma to floating railroad tracks on a flat-bottomed boat?
I can't say I've ever seen that method of getting freight cars on a barge before, but then I've only ever seen the rail-cars-on-barge routine before in Philly and New York . :?
What do they do when the weather gets cold? Just wonderin'.
