Abstract

Most people do not believe that Tim Dufel can push 2,000 tons of steel all the way across New York State. Isn't the old Erie Canal dried up, they ask him, its locks broken, its ditch filled in and forgotten? They ask these questions even on days like this one, when Mr. Dufel is standing in an orange life vest, watching brown water flood Lock 16 here and lift his loaded barge like a toy battleship in a bathtub.
