Although on this frosty January day in Pittsburgh, no towboats are navigating the Ohio River past the Carnegie Science Center, pictured to the left, and Acrisure Stadium, on the right, the train tracks are a reminder that one cargo barge carries as much bulk commodities as 16 bulk rail cars and 70 tractor-trailer trucks. Inland navigation is more efficient, environmentally sound, and safer for the public than rail or road bulk transportation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District, known as the Headwaters of the Ohio, is responsible for operating 23 navigable locks and dams on the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers, as well as managing 16 reservoirs throughout the region.
