CHEYENNE TAKES FOUR DECK BARGES

CHEYENNE departed Erie this morning at 0030 bound for the Welland Canal and Oswego, pushing the four deck barges remaining in the West Slip, the WITTE 1401, WITTE 1403, WITTE 1404, and WITTE 1405.

The CHEYENNE pushed the barges out with two of them lashed side-by-side, taking them to Port Colborne this way. WITTE 1401 and WITTE 1403 were left in Port Colborne and the CHEYENNE took the remaining two barges downbound, bound for the north end of the Canal, after which the tug will return upbound for the other two barges.

One more barge remains under construction at Erie Shipbuilding
