    I live in St Louis, there are tons of barges taking materials up and down the river every day. It doesn’t measure up to our hay day 130 years ago but there is still a lot of shipping

      I live in Portland and it’s the same here on the Columbia and the Willamette. We don’t get the giant container ships because they can’t cross the Columbia Bar, but we do get midsize grain ships headed for Asian and South American markets.
