I'm sure she handles her duties neatly. And I should mention that for all the ugliness of the larger vessel, the tug is sharp looking. *Edit, the one in front.
She may be ugly, but she is still a beautiful asset for the company. She was the only ship I saw one day, several years ago. Different tug and fresh paint
I think Scott’s title to this makes him the shitbag of year. He’s likely some old guy who has no clue of what’s valuable in life and what isn’t. He isn’t.
Late reply, but here is a video from the Great Lakes Towing Company (owner of the red and green tug in this video) about their tugs over the last 120 years! th-cam.com/video/204mNj_7gP8/w-d-xo.html
LOL We get 2½ minutes of a train crossing the bridge 1:23 at normal speed, then it gets cranked up to high speed when the bridge and the boats start moving. Otherwise, fine video.
Thank you. Get off Rt 6 at Edgewater park, turn east and go past the marinas and sewer plant. Wendy park is back there and it is public access. 24 hours a day if you’re there “fishing”
People on their boats on the great lakes just doesn't know where do they wanted to go, they keep coming back to the Cuyahoga Norfork Southern lift bridge. This probably makes the bridge operator in his drawbridge exhausted because apparently he maybe getting sick and tired of letting these boats in and out of the flats east bank. He just wanted to keep the lift bridge down for once because their could be Norfolk Southern trains approaching that's heading their way. 👉🚂🚋🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃
And there is the Superior Avenue Bridge in the background and a great shot of the Terminal Tower at 7:16.... I so miss home.....
Thank you!
Still looks like some alien ship out of a Star Wars movie😝

Yes the G rugs are a great looking fleet! Most of the Grand River Navigation boats look good but this one is a very utilitarian workhorse!
Born on Cleveland but I've never been there I should go one day
Wendy park is worth a visit, nice safe place to watch boats, trains, planes, fish or people watch. When we go it’s an all evening thing.

Wish someone would do a video on some of these vintage tugs.
I would like to if I lived closer to the lakes

I love in a train town and a big fan of trains. The bottle train was a 1st for me
The tugboat was just getting a head start on the Christmas spirit with the color scheme.
The owners of those tugs have a very creative color scheme. They are easy to spot!
Ashtabula looks like Darth Vaders pleasure boat.
Lmao
Those kayakers sure are paddling away. And what's wrong with that tug. It's cute.
Nothing wrong with the tug. It's that gawdawful barge!
Nothing wrong with the barge either.
That big grey ship is a floating dry dock ship I believe
It’s called an Articulated Tug and Barge or ATB.
No shit I thought Duluth had the only aerial lift bridge.
I always love eating at shooters that restaurant over there and watch the trains
I need to take my wife there sometime
love the look of great lakes tugs
Say "ugliest tub" ten times fast. Hah! I knew you couldn't!
The ugliest tub is being hauled by a beautiful old tugboat.
I know the video is sped up in places but a lot of crazies out there on the water. :-)
LOL We get 2½ minutes of a train crossing the bridge 1:23 at normal speed, then it gets cranked up to high speed when the bridge and the boats start moving. Otherwise, fine video.
It’s so ugly it is actually beautiful.
The only ugly tub I saw was the Nautica Queen
95 tankers, 2 engines the tankers must have been M.T.
Great video. Have to go there one day.
Thank you
I've been on some rust buckets on the lakes, that vessel is the ugliest. Thank God for the tugs. They pulled us out of many jams on the lakes.
The train passing on the bridge makes a sound like a great rap beat.
Yes 😊😊😊
Rap?
I thought that as well!
She loaded!
The first train had some unusual cars on it. What are they?
Hauling molten steel from a steel manufacturer to where it will be poured into useable steel
Yeah the barge and tugs have nothing on the the old great lakes freighters.
Sure would have been nice to see the Manstee repaired instead of them buying the Ashtabula!
I want that green and red tug
You can buy one I’m sure!
I couldn't make out the name of the pusher tug or the barge. ATB setup, I assume?
The tug is the Defiance and the barge is the Ashtabula.
@@ScottTaipaleRail I should've known. I don't think the Defiance has pins ... so this would be a notch setup.
What was in those weird looking railroad cars at the beginning of the video
Bottle train coming out of the steel mill. Molten steel in each bottle heading for the pour.
What's the big beast used for? Bulk hauler?
Its likely hauling taconite(ore pellets), limestone, gravel or salt
The big boat doesn't want to go
Little boat says you have to 😀
Haha
I went to Cleveland once and it was closed,never went back.Wahahahaha.
Don't call it ugly
She definitely not ugly she’s unique ❤
Looks like a lot of Ohio Oil
Wow your camera is amazing
Thank you
My pleasure
Nice video! How do you access the bridge?
Thank you. Get off Rt 6 at Edgewater park, turn east and go past the marinas and sewer plant. Wendy park is back there and it is public access. 24 hours a day if you’re there “fishing”
+Scott Taipale Lol. Thanks for the info. Also, is the first train from the Cleveland Commercial Railroad?
+Scott Taipale Ok. Thanks! Also, what railroad was featured in the beginning and do you know of it’s schedule by chance?
Flats industrial railroad in Cleveland
its not a ugly tug at all
The Buffalo River in downtown Buffalo isn't quite as beautiful or functional as this, but thank goodness for Canalside and the Naval Park.
I have not been to buffalo yet
@@ScottTaipaleRail I highly recommend it, especially during the summer or fall. Buffalo has come a long way in the past 10 years.
Very cool! 👍🏽
Thank you!!
cool i like the old ship to
Thanks
Love the tug!!
Should call this video A long, long train on a bridge. Ant that Towboat isn't really ugly. Pretty typical actually.
Anyone have an idea what GLT charges ($) to tow a job like this?
Interesting question that I don’t have the answer to
Now that is a cool bridge ... and you're right, that old girl ain't too pretty! 😂😂
Hopefully next time I go there NS runs a few more trains and there will be a more attractive laker!
An attractive laker would be the Edward L. Ryerson, but she’s currently in permanent lay up sadly.
... you must really like to watch train cars.
Ugly tug? SHe’s not ugly lol
You called it... that thing is pretty horrible to look at. It kind of looks like the Manitoulin. It makes the John D. Leitch look good.
Some barges look good but this is frankentub
@@ScottTaipaleRail 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
@@ScottTaipaleRail frankentub excellent thank you for the laugh Sir.
Agreed!! Ugly as can be!! But a nice video. ;)
Thank you!
You ain't a-kiddin' about ugly! What does that rusty old thang haul besides rust?
Salt and gravel mostly
No wonder it's rusty ... 😉
*tug*
Tub... boat.... the big grey thing

English is hard.
