I recently spent two and half days on the AEP Leader, a Tug Boat owned by American Electric Power, on a trip down the Ohio River. I boarded the tug in Powhatan, West Virginia and traveled with the crew of nine employees, down the river to Gallipolis, Ohio. The Barge was pushing 15 barges containing 30,000 tons of coal. The crew worked 24 hour shifts for 21 days straight through. They are a unique breed of people I had the honor to spend some time with.
