Probably not a lot of fun for the crew, though! The first pic of those silos seems to show snow on the ground. I suspect that the photos were taken in winter when the grain harvest was still months away.
Hey, Russ, it would have been no problem to get one of those puny subs through the Welland Canal, as the locks can handle boats up to 740' long and almost 80' wide.
As for the snow on the ground - this is Buffalo, where, I'm told, a snow shovel in the trunk of your car is a year-round accessory in case of "lake effect" snow.
