Illinois River Traffic
Illinois River river navigationI crossed the draw bridge at Florence today. I was already on the bridge when lights started flashing. I stopped to see what was coming. The only boat I saw was the little one in the top picture. I looked back upstream again and a tow was peeking around the bend. ow are few of the photos I got as the tow approached the bridge and then moved under it. The towboat was the Lydia E Cambell. She is an Illinois river boat with a pilot house that moves up and down. The barges were tanker barges and coal barges.
