I wonder how does the ship go back? Does she move backward?

So informative! A great mix of the cars interiors, drone shots, audio, maps, etc.

James R Barker is definitely not the first "1,000 footer." It was the Stewart J Cort

they reverse out back to lake?

There is not two mooring lines on each side of the ship. There is only one mooring line on each side of the ship.

People still use coal?

Yes, the "H" on the middle hatch is a helicopter landing pad. Can be used in case of a medical emergency. US Coast Guard usually just hovers and drops the basket from what I've seen, I guess their birds are too heavy.

Excellent work thank you!

Man nice video!

Dang it is busy on marine traffic

i have attended many concerts right under that tent

Fascinating video, I enjoyed every minute, thanks for posting I appreciate the effort ! Regards From Southern California; - Larry

I want to know how they got out of there?

Fantastic! You almost landed on the bridge near the end. Any closer and they would have to feed you lunch!

Thank GOD for ALL these Companies that take care of the Business that most of us never realized even existed. Thanks for shedding some light on these businesses.

Your videos are fantastic! I appreciate you making them and I'm always like them. I also try to leave a comment. That blue highway bridge is beautiful, that color really pops!

Your videos are always so interesting and informative. You are much appreciated for your efforts. Thank you!

The small grey vessel generally in front of the ship is a river pilot boat.

Nice video and explaination of the loading of Northern Venture. Not clear on how the comodity gets offloaded from inside the hull? Are there conveyors under the load also?

amazing this thing navigates through without a tug to assist in the sharp turns

Seeing as your from NKY do you ever run into Jawtooth while out filming? Also its crazy that I used to live in NKY for almost 25yrs and had never seen anyone out filming trains.

Just for the record, : The booms on the ships 🚢 are about +/- 230 ,250 feet in length. The railcars are 286,000 pound cars empty they are around 60,000 pounds or 30 tons with a capacity to carry 120 tons of coal.

Hey! really cool video sir. Novice question here, how do some of the cars move without them seeming to be locomitives?

Thanks for filming these amazing ships of the Great Lakes! I worked onboard several similar ships before on the Lakes, both on deck and in the engine room. Many people forget the Great Lakes are inland seas but freshwater ones. The word "Lakes" throws many people off. Once out on the Lakes you can be far enough to not see land at all on any side. It takes days to navigate across the lakes, not hours. And the U.S. fleet has 13 of the 1,000 foot long Lakers, that is 1,000 foot long bulk carriers made in the 1970s and early 1980s. FUN FACT: Ships don't rust out on the Lakes like they do on the ocean, as such some very old ships, floating museums are still in active commercial use on the Great Lakes. The Wilfred Sykes is an example. Built in 1949, she's still sailing the Lakes. But the engine room is pure steamship and old school as can be. Canada has more ships but they are smaller overall so the US flag fleet on the Lakes has fewer but bigger ships. Right now the weather is perfect for these videos! Hope to see more, especially like how you're focusing on how the rail/water transport connections work and how important these are both to North America and the world.

Used to all be loaded on rail out of rockport yard right there in Cleveland about 6 rail miles up from where you were at right there. NS didnt want their work anymore though. Every now and then will we get an ore train out of there but believe it used to be 3 a day. The biggest switcher in cleveland is the cargill salt plant from the cargill mine that is up under lake erie right there. That yard is right across from this ore site. They still switch 100+ cars a day over there

18:20. This scene where there are lots of smaller boats, that is a testament to how the waters of the Great Lakes are used by everyone and not just the Large LakeBoats.

Awesome video man! Loved the narration!!!

Rail cars are still loaded there. They use rail transport mostly in the winter during the shipping off season when the locks are down for maintenance.

Great quality video as always. I wonder why the Munson is unloading instead of delivering to where America Courage is going to?😊

Cleveland and the John G Munson, what a beautiful site.

Americas Waterways are used for Transporting so many Different Products both within U.S. and around the World. Products have so many different uses. 🤔

Thank you for the very interesting video. I always like enjoy watching your videos of the different ports and loading of coal that goes on and the trains very interesting. Thank you. I grew up at Curtis Bay, Maryland close to where the Key bridge collapsed. as a kid always used to go down in the area and check it out one time my father was able to weasel us on to some of the bulker coal ships and actually one time we had dinner with a captain on his ship,which was kind of cool, but growing up in industrial area always keeps me interested in the type of operations that go on thanks again for your video. Very nice.

As an experienced sailboat racer, I recognize the radio traffic of a race committee setting up buoys for a race.

Another great video! 👍

I just found your channel. This is incredible drone footage. I’m going to share your channel with my train community. Keep up the great work! 💯😎 Frank

Thank you for a very interesting video 👍

Just a plain thank you for doing this video for us the viewers...

Hey…I know that one voice!!!!

Very cool video, thanks for sharing. Very interesting

I live in Portsmouth and I watch trains a lot. the yard used to have 2 turntables with 2 roundhouses. back in the late 1970's/1980's they had a strike, it was vary bad in Portsmouth, one the executives of the N&W, (soon to be the last CEO of the NW) was in Portsmouth to witness the damage done by the strikers and almost got hit by someone throwing a rock at him, another official did get hit. At that moment he said that will make Portsmouth a "whistle stop". The yard became an empty shell. It wasn't until around 2007 to 2010 that the CEO of Norfolk Southern mad a deal with the Governor of Ohio to reopen the car shops, a type of tax deal. Also, the Cincinnati Line known as the Peavine line closed back in 2003. Would be interesting to see how much more traffic on the rails, especially since it has already increased with the double stack trains.

Thank you for another fascinating and educational video!

Yes, 42" gauge. It has two hot rails in between the running rails for 250VDC power.

If a big war would start we would more ship .shiping around the clock

Hope you show more ship on the great lakes thank you

Really enjoyed watching this video. Great capture of the process. I like ships and trains. Hope that's some low sulfur coal from Wyoming. I live close to some coal mines here. Have a good day, sir.

This is fascinating, I just visited the decommissioned McMyler Coal Dumper in port reading NJ. It was amazing to explore up close. awesome ingenuity. Thanks for the video !

Avoid any collisions between a train and any vehicles from crashes.

Will see the all Amtrak locomotives will be fixed and repaired, hopefully not being scrapped.
