Since sightings like this were previously posted in the "NX Draw" thread, it seemed like a good idea to create a new thread that had a more appropriate title.

Monday, June 25 at 1:10 pm Dock opened for a move going up river with a deck barge that had a crane and a drilling rig on it. The small pusher tug Gabby L. Miller has a relatively high fixed pilothouse, forcing Dock to open. About 1/2 hour later they passed through the NJT Newark Draw (Morristown Line) (after a short wait for it to open) and are continuing up the river where they are about to pass through Clay Street roadway bridge now.

I have no idea of their destination.

The tug & barge are sitting near Lyndhurst where the toxic mud is. Must be doing some testing???

Barge and tug were still anchored last night about a quarter mile south of the NJT Lyndhurst Draw.

I'm sure WR didn't have to open, how about I-280 Stickel and NJ Route 7?

I-280 Stickel did not need to open, Route 7 did.
