A green and white Thursday

Three of the five tugs that currently wear the distinctive Poling & Cutler green and white livery passed up the North River on Thursday pushing three of the company’s four barges. In the morning, Evelyn Cutler, 3,800 HP, passed by returning from a delivery in Albany with the Noelle Cutler barge. In the afternoon, Kimberly Poling (3,000 HP) came through with the Edwin A Poling barge, also returning from up north. And in the early evening, the company’s largest tug Kristin Poling (5,000 HP) came up the river with the higher capacity Eva Leigh Cutler barge, I believe returning from a run up to New England and heading for anchorage. A few days later, on Sunday morning, we see Evelyn on the upper Hudson returning from another Albany run and about to pass Kimberly heading north with a new cargo near Saugerties, NY. Kristin is taking a break at the Caddell yard on Kill van Kull.
