In March 2010, I got photos of the "junk fleet" of small towboats heading up the Ohio River to a scrap yard in Pittsburgh -- Evan Wharton, Tater Bug, Anita Domino, Pam D, Trojan, Bud Weber, Big Daddy and Shannon Holston.
The Evan Wharton was to be doing all the pushing and would escape the cutting torch, but ...
On vessel locations Sunday evening, I saw the Anita Domino listed as downbound in the Montgomery pool. I looked on the Monongahela River and saw the Shannon Holston still moving. Last week I saw the Tater Bug on the Kanawha River, turning into the Elk River with one barge.
It makes me wonder how many other of the junk fleet are still working.
