A season of heating and leaves

As autumn temperatures arrive, the North River typically sees increased traffic as heating oil is stockpiled up north. Tanker barge traffic has been steady this past week, though not particularly heavy. The cruise terminal has also been busy as leaf watching voyages begin to run.
