Looking WNW from 27th St. at McAlpine Locks.
<p>Towboat "Brimstone" (doc. # 277557) exiting 600-foot lock downbound with second cut of tow.
First cut of tow can be seen on lower guidewall.
Most tows are longer than 600-feet and so must be broken into two sections, or cuts, which are locked separately and then reassembled. Sometimes the tow can be broken and temporarily rearranged so it will fit in the lock.
