jfallon And that was at the dock! You have to wonder how many railroad cars are on the bottom of New York Bay.

...Sittin' at the bottom of the bay... wasting t-i-i-i-me.... rustin' away....
In the Montevideo shipping channel our ship rammed a barge in broad daylight. It wasn't a railroad barge and it didn't sink; however, several SUVs and containers were knocked off and sunk to the bottom. We were delayed three days and the captain was fired. This photo shows repairs being made to the Norwegian Dream (unofficially renamed Norwegian Nightmare). The cruise line shortly retired the ship.

Sir Madog Should I say ? We have a car ferry nearby - guess, how many times this happens, now that people follow their GPS instead of looking on the road ahead!

We call that a derivative of ditch diving----happens when one is paying more attention on cell phone than on driving. A variation on that theme would be the one for winter driving----can't see the dang road---OOPS--into the ditch we go

Maybe due to traffic conjestion on the surface, they were experimenting with submarine ferries.
Based on the stories real railroaders tell me about such incidents, the proper response is, "Barge, what barge?"

Well, duh. Why would anyone put the car float in before the Envirotex is fully cured?
