The matched set of Lehigh Valley Tug and Lehigh Valley Railroad freight barge 79 are sailing from a pier in Tribeca in Manhattan. Here is a link to the info.
They are open for tours starting tomorrow and through the weekend. The barge is a true rarity the last floating wooden frieight barge. They are both restored and the Barge has O scale models of Barge and tugs evolution as well as a restored cabin.

Any idea what kind of engine is in the tug?
They replaced the Steam engine with Deisel in 1953.
Joe you caught it in its usual berth in Red Hook. I used to work at the pier in the background. There used to be some PCCs stored until recently behind the Fairway there.

I have not heard of one of those.
Diesel engine excuse my spelling. Lord knows some people never make mistakes. I am not one of them. Thanks.

Me neither, but my spell check catches about every 10th or 12th word I type.
