I am a tugboat captain. I used to tow a rail car barge loaded with tank cars from Mobile ,Al. to Ponce Puerto Rico. We carried 28 tank cars at a time, loaded with coca-cola syrup to the bottler in Puerto Rico. <br />The barge was 480' x 80'. The trip took 9 days one way. The tug was 115' long with 3900 hp. It was always fun when a tank car derailed half way onto the barge!
